The response of Earth’s climate system to orbital forcing has been highly state dependent over the past 66 million years. The states of past climate Deep-sea benthic foraminifera preserve an essential record of Earth's past climate in their oxygen- and carbon-isotope compositions. However, this record lacks sufficient temporal resolution and/or age control in some places to determine which climate forcing and feedback mechanisms were most important. Westerhold et al. present a highly resolved… CONTINUE READING
