Amazing news! Next we'll have "scientist" telling us we breathe air.

I was taught this when I was kid and the big boogie man the "wacko ecologists" (remember when they called it the ecology?) were screaming about was the next ice age.

Pitch In!

Scientists already knew this "thermal event" happened but are not sure what caused it. Perhaps massive releases of methane from the ocean, the continent-sized burning of trees, lots of volcanic eruptions.

Perhaps dinosaurs developed a love for beans.

Skeptics of man-made causes of global warming have nothing to rejoice over, however. The researchers say their studies appearing in Thursday's issue of Nature also offer a peak at just how bad conditions can get.

BAD??? Wait, whoa! I live in North Dakota! BRING IT ON!!!

I read a book called "The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch" that also said the poles were tropical at one time. It was written in 1966, if memory serves.

First-of-its-kind core samples dug up from deep beneath the Arctic Ocean floor show that 55 million years ago an area near the North Pole was practically a subtropical paradise, three new studies show.

How did what was surface 55 million years ago sink thousands of feet under the surface of the ocean?

Since it was the high arctic wouldn't there have been months of total darkness or was the earth positioned differently back then?
