there is not adequate storage to buffer seasonal variations.

The red dashed curve in the right chart is the Tw distribution shown in the left chart for the 1999-2008 decade.

Exhibit 7-11: Maximum mammal body size was a factor of 1000 smaller than today 70 million years ago, when temperatures were 5-7oC warmer. Cooling over the past 50 million
years (inferred from the data in the lower panel) made it easier to dissipate heat as the mass of the largest mammals increased during the past 70 million years and the
surface:volume ratio decreased. Mammals about 20 times less massive than the largest found today survived the PETM 55 million years ago
