How about this theory: The sun's output varies over time. Therefore creating ice ages and warm periods...

As we all know, Bush, Cheney and Halliburton all went back in time and burned fossil fuels to cause this warming, just because they wanted to thumb their noses at the yet to be proposed Kyoto Treaty.

where in the article does it say this was 160 million years ago?
It's Bush's Fault!!!!!

The Earth wobbles in it's rotation and revolution around the sun. Every spinning body not perfectly balanced will wobble.

It's Bush's Fault!!!!! Because he didn't sign Kyoto.

What part did continental drift play?

Yes, the largest single component of Earth's climate is solar activity.
Graph of solar activity versus climate
From Friis-Christensen, E., and K. Lassen, "Length of the solar cycle: An indicator of solar activity closely associated with climate," Science, 254, 698-700, 1991

I believe that 55 million years ago, that location could have been thousands of miles away from the pole.
We've known for donkey years about continental drift. Haven't these guys kept up with the times?

This is not breaking news.
The earth has been cooling for about the past 50 million years. One theory is that rapid tectonic uplift of the Himalayan Plateau has exposed silicate rocks to the atmosphere at a high rate, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, and reducing 'greenhouse' absorption of outgoing radiation.
The results of this cooling trend have been especially noticeable over the past 2 million years or so, which have experienced the regular growth and decay of polar ice sheets. It's been relatively cool and unstable over this recent period.
We are lucky to be as warm as we are at this time. Another glacial interval, which might be expected to be initiated at any time, would devastate life on earth...but that's nature.
To: John Valentine
I believe you have a point, but their claim about the fossil record makes it too sudden for continental drift to be the major cause.
But golly gee this pretty much proves that Global Warming as a human caused effect is a environmental extremist fantasy.

"How about this theory: The sun's output varies over time." That can't possibly be. Mr. Sun does not have anything to do with capitalism and industrial development in the West. Therefore it can't be the cause of global warming.

The Earth wobbles in it's rotation and revolution around the sun. Every spinning body not perfectly balanced will wobble. The resulting long term climatic cycle resulting from this wobbling is called the Milankovitch Cycle
