Multiple geochemical and paleontological studies confirm that the Paleocene epoch and its associated thermal maximum featured global temperatures significantly higher than those of the present day.

Evidence for · 3
Global mean surface temperature and climate sensitivity of the early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO), Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), and latest Paleocene
2020 · cited by 145
This study calculates that global mean surface temperatures during the latest Paleocene and PETM were substantially warmer than pre-industrial levels.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that the Paleocene epoch, including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, experienced global mean surface temperatures significantly higher than modern or pre-industrial levels. Papers [0], [5], and [10] directly quantify these elevated temperatures using various proxies such as deep-sea sediment records and soil clumped isotopes. Therefore, the claim is strongly supported by the evidence.
