50 million years ago (50 MYA) Earth was ice-free.
Atmospheric CO2 amount was of the order of 1000 ppm 50 MYA.
Atmospheric CO2 imbalance due to plate tectonics ~ 10-4 ppm per year; THAT’S 0.0001 ppm/year vs. ~2.6 ppm/year.
Azolla event:~ 49 Ma
Opening of the Drake passage isolating Antarctica and further
drop in CO2

Precipitation (sink):CO2 + CaSiO3 → CaCO3 + SiO2
AS CONTINENTS DRIFT TO HIGH LATITUDES AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND BECOME GLACIATED IT LEADS TO:
1. GREATER MECHANICAL WEATHERING OF SILICATES:• increasing sequestration of CO2 in sediments• decreasing the amount in the atmosphere
ADDITIONALLY in the Cenozoic (last 65 million years):
2. MID-OCEAN SPREADING RATES SLOW DOWN•Less CO2 into the atmosphere for volcanoes
=CO2 DRAW DOWN THROUGH TIME!

WAS FROM TERRESTRIAL DEPOSITS
We may know what
caused these today,
but imagine back
then?

IT’S THE INTERPRETATION THAT’S NOT
ALWAYS CORRECT
Darwin observed ancient Alpine shorelines:
interpreted as ocean shoreline
Agassiz – later correctly interpreted as ice-
dammed lake-shore strandlines/shoreline

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Ocean acidification
oAdding CO2 adds H+ ions making water
more acidic (lowers pH)
oThis in turn reduces CO3 -2 ions
o reducing CO3 -2 makes it more difficult
for organisms to make their shell –
especially aragonitic oneshttp://www.skepticalscience.com/ocean-acidification-global-warming.htm

• If we are so concerned about leaving a national debt to our children and grandchildren, and BTW we should be, shouldn’t we put the costs of climate change as part of that equation?
• For those that don’t accept climate change maybe it would be a good thing to limit CO2 into the atmosphere anyway, especially at the rates we are putting it into the atmosphere – BECAUSE OF OCEAN ACIDIFICATION issues and the law of unintended consequences!

Extreme weather eventsour changing world
• https://www.pbs.org/video/decoding-the-weather-machine-vgqhot/ :– Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and
wildfires. Withering heat. Extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude that something’s up with the weather, and many scientists agree. It’s the result of the weather machine itself—our climate—changing, becoming hotter and more erratic. In this 2-hour documentary, NOVA will cut through the confusion around climate change.
