Some of the promos were bullshit. Also Bill Nye is being promoted in a special on TV. Don’t remember but it might have been POV or PBS.

However, the Wash. Post has been printing a lot of climate change garbage about “rising waters”, “new deserts”, etc.

Fools. I’ve got a background in science including Geology/Paleontology, Archaeology, and Anthropology. My bullshit antennae have been in orbit for the past several months (and not looking for aliens. Looking for intelligent life on Earth in the scientific community).

About a mile from where I live now, I lived in an apartment complex outside of DC. They found a dinosaur footprint while digging a trench for a new pipeline. The dinosaur could have come from the Cretaceous or Triassic Periods, since both formations are underlying where I lived/live and the Triassic redbeds with major dinosaur footprint “walks” are found in Culpepper, Va. (Been there. About 150 tracks on the same redbed surface - several different species).

My daughter and I found a Theropod toe-bone/foot bone off of Central Avenue on the DC Beltway where a Paleocene layer contained 5 species of shark teeth, Mosasaur teeth & vertebrae, many different species of fish teeth, gastropods, mollusks. Ammonoids and even a Cephalopod’s (squid-like) creature’s internal hard part, the Bellemnitella /Bellemnite (which is now in the Smithsonian).

Underlying that was a Cretaceous inland lake-like body of water with dinosaur bones (at least the one we found), alligator bones and scutes, turtle shell plates, one unusual configured shark specie’s teeth, and some shells.

Back in those days, between 65 Million and 120 Million, the DC Swamps were really jumping, and there are also coalbeds under the congressional office buildings/Supreme Court and the Capitol Building (and some of there possible Pennsylvanian Period lifeforms are still in Congress).

The concept of “Carry-out food” in those days was “Carrion Food”, fresh, not grilled.

Yes there has been climate change, only it took thousands or millions of years to happen. There is no “Instant Climate Change” as the left faux scientists want.

Yup and if there is were any warming I wouldn’t be shocked since I expect we’ve probably been warming since the last glacial period.

I also think it’s pretty goofy to think the world is supposed to have some kind of constant “normal” temperature to serve as a base of what is cool or warm. (e.g. the “earth has a fever” shtick)
