Heck, we can’t get it straight whether our current climate is heating or cooling

If you really want to get a Paleontologist worked up, ask about Paleocene dinosaurs...

Send this to university of creationism and it will make its way back to the religion forum here with the label addition "(More Proof that Evolution is Bunk!)"

warm-blooded like us

That's pretty insensitive to any ectothermic creatures who may be reading the article.

It is not too hard a stretch of the imagination for the smaller, in relative terms, dinosaurs to be warm blooded but I remember seeing a show calculating the amount of food a warm blooded sauropad, like Apatasauraus, would need to eat and it seemed unlikely they could eat that much.

Where are the feathers - latest reconstructions have them?

Sort of very old news - dinos were confirmed - or as close as it gets - to be warm blooded years ago based on distance of fosilized prints or running dinos.

its interesting theory. How did cold blooded dinosaurs become modern time warm-blooded animals. Maybe they weren’t cold blooded
