Antarctica hasn’t always been at the south pole. This has nothing to do with climate.

“I think the Piri Reis map is a good indication that the Antarctic has been frozen for far less than our “scientist” would have us believe.”

Nope, nope, just fantasy.

30 million years ago the CO2 ppm was upwards as much as 700 million ppm, and LIFE writ large was THRIVING!!!!!

If humanity goes extinct it will not be because of “climate change” or global warming. It will be because it impoverishes and destroys its own civilizations chasing after CO2 instead of adapting. And yet, humanity has likely the best intelligence and technology to adapt to climate change that it has ever had, if it does not ignore it.

This is not new information. I remember it from a few years back.

I remember hearing about it when I was a kid

They found this a long time ago. I remember reading this at least 30 years ago. Palm trees under the ice.

“...improve scientific understanding of Antarctica’s response to climate change.”

Antarctica’s respones???

For crying out loud, all the landmasses have moved, crawled slowly, over the face of the earth and their climates change as a result, by necessity.

Antarctica’s land mass has not always been where it is now.

So it’s getting colder. climate change was global warming but now global freezing after it was global freezing years ago. Look up the Paul Newman movie “Quintet”

cientific understanding of Antarctica’s response to climate change.>>. Assigning human characteristics to inanimate objects is a sign of insanity.

I live on Eocene-aged rocks here.


Are they tasty? 😀

No, they are mostly inedible. Lots of browns and oranges due to the high iron content.

There was an inland sea over Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado in the Eocene. Like Salt Lake but fresh. The rock deposited during this time is called the Green River Shale. It is world famous for fish fossils. I have a few of my own. Here are some examples.

There are many different species but sadly, all have been lithified so they would break your teeth. Just do a search on green river fish fossils. Some look like bass, some bluegill, some sardines.

Nice! What sort of batter do you use? Or do you cook them in the oven, wrapped in tinfoil, with a touch of tarragon and lemon juice?

No. More like sushi, with a touch of wasabi. The real fun starts the next day when they start swimming downstream.

They school and spawn. Then, die a slow suffocating death.
