The finding is relevant to the ongoing climate change discussion, IUB geologist Simon Brassell says, because it portrays an ancient Earth whose temperatures shifted erratically due to changes in carbon cycling and did so without human input. Worth repeating. I await the MSM discussion of these findings. Al Gore: call yer office.

Whenthey find a Fred Flintstone car buried alongside a dinosaur and they find out it has an internal combustion engine, then I will believe that humans cause global warming. Until then i go along with the Mother Nature cyclical theory.

Actually, it was Fred Flinstone's fault.

There was a primitive humanoid creature who discovered fire. He started global warming. He lived in a bush and was therefore called "Bush" by his fellow humanoids. It was his fault.

Well, they just added some good old fashioned Hoosier common sense (expected, of course, from the only state with a State Casserole).

What happened to the asteroid strike or volcanic activity theories?

"What happened to the asteroid strike or volcanic activity theories?"
a. Climate fluctuation had nothing to do with the dinosaurs demise and they are not making that argument.
b. The Chixculub 'asteroid strike' is not a theory, but an established fact. The crater is in Yucatan and has been conclusively dated to 65MYA, when the dinosaurs disappeared. That it caused the extinction of just about every critter we know of bigger than about 50 pounds is established by extensive and varied evidence from the geologic record and the fossil record.
To get back on topic, every time I point out to the 'global warming' nuts that the earth was so warm during the Mesozoic that BOTH Antarctica and Alaska (which were in about the same positions as they are today on the globe) supported temperate rainforests, they usually end the discussion (or, in the case of one 'green' blogger, repeatedly erase my posts on their website.....

Just can't have those pesky facts hanging around cluttering things up, now can we? LOL

What a nightmare, it would have been to be in Goron's platoon.
Of course that was no problem as he really wasn't in a platoon.

This is an official test of the emergency tagline warning system. If your ideas about global warming are tied to a socialist political ideology, please do not read any further as this may cause you upset, and to further protect your deeply held ideology, please disconnect from the Internet immediately.
