The world's leading climate history experts will converge on Wellington over the next two weeks for a conference on the history of climate change.
The conference, organised by GNS Science, will examine the greenhouse climate of the Paleogene period, 65 to 35 million years ago. It is believed that was the last time the Earth experienced global warming on a scale similar to what is being projected for the future.
Conference organiser Chris Hollis says there is growing evidence that temperatures in high latitude places like New Zealand have been far higher than previously thought.
He says they hope to come to a conclusion about how real the current climate warming is.
