My 12 year old daughter was trying to school me on climate change and how destructive we humans have been. I told her to research findings in the arctic and antarctic regarding excavations. She comes to me and informed me there have been fossilized tropical plants and animals found there that could not survive in a cold climate. When I asked her what did humans do to cause that, she tells me “Silly, humans weren't around then!” DUH I know that- our planet is going to do what God and Mother Nature want it to do, regardless of anything us mere humans contribute to the situation.

It baffles me that the greenies want all this stuff, but bird shredders on every mountain ridge, and black seas of photo voltaics spread for hundreds of square miles. These destroy the environment they are claiming to save and as far as I am concerned are a crime against humanity

The fossils don’t mean that the poles were one time tropical. For instance, Antarctica was further towards the equator and has been driven to its current position. I believe it has been there since the Miocene.
