You know, I am surprised no one seems concerned about the materiality of the numbers. When did this "sudden supercharged spike" occur? Maybe from 55.00M years ago to 54.99M years ago?

Hmmm. That's still 10,000 years --much longer than currently recorded history, and even longer than the 100 years I can hope to live! I think science still has a long way to go before it can truly "prove" anything worthwhile on this front!

Here's my question. Given the oceanoraphic contour map and this discovery of past plant life beneath the arctic Ocean,which while it might have been on marshy land, it would nevertheless have been at then current sea level plus/minus.

So where did all the water come from? Implies some very serious plate movement on the order of several miles vertically, no?
