UN scientists have said that unless CO2 emissions are hugely reduced, average global temperatures could climb 7.2 to 9.0 F by 2100, effectively compressing the PETM spike onto a scale of hundreds, rather than thousands of years.

If the PETM was a climate change "squeeze," while the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 10 million years earlier was a "punch," we are "probably closer to the punch than the squeeze," Kump said.
