Did the rifting of the Atlantic Ocean cause the Cretaceous thermal maximum?

CJ Poulsen, AS Gendaszek, RL Jacob - Geology, 2003 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The Cretaceous thermal maximum was a major turning point in the history of Earth's climate.
This interval of peak warmth in the Turonian has been attributed to very high atmospheric p …
