Imagining the climate of the Antarctica region usually prompts visions of dog sleds, parkas, and explorers like Ernest Shackleton struggling to access the area, only to be beaten back by snow, ice and freezing temperatures.
...
...scientists, paleontologists and other experts of ancient eras say that Antarctica was not always thus, that once upon a very long time ago, its landscape bore a greater resemblance to rainforests than the inside of a refrigerator, and had temperatures that were downright balmy.
It’s difficult to imagine, certainly, but about 90 million years ago, sediment samples indicate, Antarctica had the landscape best described as temperate. There was lush vegetation teeming with organisms – hardly the vision most of us have when we conjure up the views there.

PING
Nothing a catastrophic view of earth history couldn’t handle.
This may well be an indication that earth was spinning on an entirely different axis.
Waiting for the picture of the two frozen guys protesting global warming.
They’ve been talking a little more about volcanoes beneath the Antarctic Ice. Gee...could that have anything to do with warming....like....duh. And they knew about this years ago....it’s not something new.
Tectonic plate movement. Continents don’t stay put; they wander around.
Dang those SUV driving dinosaurs!
—and think what the “climate” must have been near the equator—
The climate of earth has always changed and will always change and there is not a thing man can do about it.
The earth has been covered in ice for more time than the conditions we currently enjoy.
True, but interestingly, the drill site is very near the geographic S. pole as it was located 90 million years ago. Sure seems to be more than continental drift at play here.
Now THAT’S CLIMATE CHANGE!......................
The poles are always shifting. Usually just a few miles per year, and not in a predictable manner. Now the eco-freaks claim it is because of man made global warming.

Eventually.
This speaks to my “hypothesis” that the “earth” as described in the bible is actually the SURFACE of the earth, and like a canvas, can be the host to a painting, followed by whitewash, followed by another painting, each subsequent painting with multiple paintings under it.
And we are just in the latest painting spoken of beginning in Genesis 1:3. And the next painting is referred to in Revelation 21.
And we are pealing back the layers with fossil finds, old forests, etc.
Bet that cavemen were screaming about ‘climate change’ back when It started getting cold and icing over. They probably had some committee to enact laws ru,es and regulations s to tax the snot out of their fellow cavemen to ‘save the planet’
Wait till they find the buried cities with roads and cars etc.
Before the flood, the world was one big greenhouse. Although at one point God did separate the land masses for some reason, it’s only briefly mentioned in Genesis.
