Answer:

The world was a very different place during the equable climates of the Cretaceous and the Paleogene. While the tropics maintained relatively stable temperatures (Zachos, 1994; Pearson et al., 2001), the high-latitudes were much warmer than they are currently, and greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, existed in significantly higher concentrations too (Sluijs, 2006). The warmest period was the Eocene Climatic Optimum with peak temperatures occurring between 52 and 50 million years ago (Ma) (Wing and Greenwood, 1993). During this time, sea surface temperatures at the North Pole increased to 23°-24°C in the Eocene epoch (~56 Ma to 34 Ma) from 18°C during the Paleocene epoch (65.5 Ma to ~56 Ma) (Sluijs et al., 2006; Moran et al., 2006). In North America between 45°N-50°N, there were no periods longer than a day with temperatures below freezing, and no minimum temperatures below -10°C, or 14°F (Wing and Greenwood, 1993).
