56 million years ago , the Earth experienced a major and rapid climate warming due to greenhouse gas emissions, probably due to volcanic eruptions.

A team from the University of Geneva ( UNIGE ) has analysed sediments from this period to assess the impact of this global warming on the environment.

The study revealed a four-fold increase in soil erosion due to heavy rainfall and river flooding.

These results suggest that current warming could have a similar effect over time, significantly increasing flood risks.
