Earth’s history of glaciation far more complex than previously thought, according to researchers at Rutgers University, reports Louise Boyle

The new research found that in the last 66 million years, the planet had almost ice-free periods when carbon dioxide levels were not much higher than today’s measurements. The research also discovered glacial periods in times previously believed to have been ice-free.
