The actual paper is here:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-47676-9It says:
Quote:Defining the relationship between the atmospheric concentration of
carbon dioxide (pCO2) and temperature is essential for understanding
present environmental changes and modelling future climate trends.
Geologic data can provide critical context, as well as possible analo gues,
for our future. For example, as compared to today’s global
annual temperatures of 14.5°C1, the middle Miocene (ca. 15 million
years ago; Ma)was 18.4°C2–4, equivalent to that predicted for the year
2100 using the IPCC RCP8.5 scenario5,6. Thus, studying the past 15
million years (Myr) may provide a series of climate analogues relevant
for possible near-future climates.
The actual rise is 4 degrees.I did a search on the .pdf and there is nothing to back up the claim that
"Earth can get hotter by 25 degrees"
There is another site that also runs with the false story:
