The study suggests that the burial of organic carbon in marine sediments played a critical role in cooling the planet over the last 60 million years.
Earth appears to have a natural climate control system that has helped keep the planet habitable for more than 100 million years. Scientists have long known that this system exists, but the mechanisms behind it have remained difficult to explain.
