Abstract
The atmospheric composition and temperature of the Archean eon are poorly constrained, since a lack of geophysical data makes it difficult to find sufficient proxies. The proxies we do have indicate that the climate was likely temperate for at least a part of the period even though the sun was only about 75% as luminous as it is now, and that life likely started during this eon. The long term geochemical carbon cycle, driven by the interior thermal evolution of the Earth, is a stabilising factor for the climate, and might have stabilised the Archean climate as well.
