Researchers in the US have developed a robot that can reportedly sort, manipulate and identify microscopic marine fossils.

A fossil-sorting robot could make it easier and less tedious for researchers to study the climate and oceans of today and the past.

is a Mashable series that answers provoking and salient questions about Earth’s warming climate.   Big snakes, alligators, giant tortoises, and flying lemurs thrived in a balmy Arctic some 50 million years ago. It was a time when the potent greenhouse gas carbon dioxide had spiked in Earth's atmosphere, making the high polar regions downright tropical.  Scientists who investigate past climates, called paleoclimatologists, have collected bounties of evidence that CO2 has long been a dominant lever of Earth's temperature. The evidence exists in chemicals stored in fossils, which indi...
