The largest climate change in central North America since the age of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, a temperature drop of nearly 15 degrees Fahrenheit, is documented within the fossilized teeth of horses and other plant-eating mammals, a new study reveals.

Well I'm predicting a pretty substantial rise in the teperatures sometime within the next 6 to 8 weeks.
(no I didn't read the article either but it wasn't required for my prediction.) LOL
Global Warming ping!!!
in 1972 in Nocona Tx at a high school track meet it was 87 at noon when the short racers took lunch, at 5:15 pm when the last race was called ( the mile ) it was snowing !!!!!!! I know, I was the 100 yd dash man and the miler
Actually it does have bearing. Why did the climate change by that much back then? Did the sun get dimmer? Cosmic dust clouds get in the way? Increased (or decreased) volcanic activity? Nearby supernova screw up the atmosphere? If the reasons for previous climate changes are found, that could point to whether recent climate changes are natural.
Yup. That's because Freepers know life is too serious to take too serious. Like Shakespeare said:
"Because thou art virtuous does thou think there will be no more cake and ale? Aye, and wine shall run hot in the mouth,too."
Australian climate researchers refute your claim and further predict a temperature drop in the next two months. :-)

I read about this last year. One theory was that abrupt continental shift altered the ocean currents.
That point is being made every day---and being ignored everyday by the media. If they won't accept that a 1500 year cycle is responsible for temerature variations I don't think they'll much care about a 35 million year old climate change.
I agree with you, otherwise one will appear to be as a naive as the CC crazies we all presumably despise.
NO!! The earth has been warming for the last 2.653426 billion trillion zillion years. Every real scientist knows this! GOSH!! /sarcasm
The article is quite poorly written and confusing IMHO.
I have seen some of the evidence in Nebraska. Excavations of ash heaps have yielded skeletons of jungle animals. There is also evidence that, at another time, it was a pine forest. 3 very different climates in the history of one state.
No, but it can be a very 'comfortable' career if you like the 'work'.
"Of course we are at war with Eastasia.
We have _always_ been at war with Eastasia..."
Orwell was dead-on right.
"This is just research into past climate change which has no bearing on the current debate because man wasn't even around then."
That's the point. It not only cooled 15 degrees but it then warmed by a likewise number taking us out of that particular glacial period. That warming was done without any human intervention. Global cooling and warming has been happening for millions of years with, or without, man being around. This undercuts the present hysteria that man is the cause of global warming.
That glacier period was 10,000 years ago. That seemed a bit bigger climate change that what we got now.
And did you know that scientific establishment says WE ARE STILL LIVING IN AN ICE AGE!!!
Anyone remember that sci-fi movie (about 2005 or 2006) where a squad of people under the govt auspices travel back in time for entertainment? People who pay exorbitant fees travel back 65 million years to shoot a T-Rex who gets swallowed up in the primordial ooze. Unfortunately, one of the guests steps on a butterfly which changes history and thereby present day Earth turns into one gigantic pre-historic rain forest.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is what person went back in time and screwed up history?
