A new study based on deep-sea sediment cores, published in the journal Nature , has found that during the Miocene period ~12–5 million years ago, climate was decoupled from atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. The cores were retrieved by marine scientists working aboard the drillship JOIDES Resolution. —LaRiviere et al.
