  An quote from the article:

      This event, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, 
      saw temperatures up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius) 
      above modern levels
  

  I think one cannot assume that anything in this article is correct.

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08hpmmf is an interesting and accurate discussion of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.
