Sooooooo, the Earth survived that and....ummm....animals seemed to thrive.

But a 0.8C rise over a century will doom the world?

The ancient snake's giant size suggests that mean year-round temperatures in the tropics were several degrees warmer than they are today, according to a study that analyzed the relationships among a snake's body size, its metabolism, and the outside temperature.

Whoa there Nelly!

But aren’t the global temperatures we are experiencing now unprecedented and indicative of man’s impact on the environment?

I guess we’re doomed from GW because the snakes will get humongous and eat us. Makes more sense than the load of crap algore is selling now.
