How hot can we expect Greenhouse Earth to have been in the past and the future? This is a question that deep‐time paleoclimatologists have long investigated. In a new paper by Fetrow et al. (2022), https://doi.org/10.1029/2022PA004517, deconvolving the depositional environments and burial history of continental carbonates deposited during known greenhouse climates, such as the Cretaceous, highlight the way Earth scientists can embark on understanding the clumped isotope derived temperatures and properly interpreting such temperatures.
