Paleoclimatology is the study of climate change in the past.
Based on Paleoclimatology records, the temperature of the earth in the past was once cooler than now.
Over the past 800,000 years, carbon dioxide content in the Earth's atmosphere has never reached 300 ppm (parts per million), but has now reached more than 400 ppm.
According to Paleoclimatology research, climate change is currently very fast compared to climate change in the past.
Paleoclimatologists use various kinds of evidence to study climate change in the past, such as ice, rocks, and fossils.
Climate change now has an impact on the environment and human life, such as increased temperature, increase in sea level, and the intensity of natural disasters that are increasingly high.
According to Paleoclimatology research, climate change can trigger major changes in the environment and affect the evolution of future life.
Some species of animals and plants have evolved to survive in extreme climatic conditions in the past.
Current climate change can trigger the transfer of animal and plant species to a cooler or warmer area.
Paleocatologists continue to study climate change in the past to understand better about current climate change and predict what will happen in the future.
