This is worth a read as it explains the gathering of evidence and the use of proxies for a great and rapid mass extinction event that occurred 55 million years ago in the ocean from fossil records. It shows what the worst consequences of rapid global warming could be and how rapidly they could take place. Changes in ocean currents because of GW precipitated this event. A very interesting read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK231944/

James Churchward, in his 1926 Classic Lost Continent of Mu, Motherland of Man (re-edited in 1931 as The Lost Continent of Mu), claimed that Mu "was completely obliterated in almost a single night". The Book of Genesis tells of a cataclysmic event in which the entire earth was destroyed by a flood. The same "great flood" story is found in virtually every culture's mythology throughout history, from Gilgamesh up to the Old Testament and everything in between. Current day academic studies could reasonably lead one to conclude that there must be some basis of truth in what those same academics consider the "myths" of past cultures and ideologies. It is only our own arrogance that prevents us from accepting the fact that we are not the first age of man on this planet, and most likely not the last. We are only visitors here on this temporal plane. To believe that all things will remain as they are into perpetuity is only willful ignorance; the only constant in the universe is change. Only the ocean is forever. see also: Wystan Hugh Auden - As I Walked Out One Evening

Sounds like its a deep ocean event that was limited or undetectable effect on our portion of the planet.
