Really, really, really stupid. So this is now the quality of “scientists” being graduated from our schools? Set the agenda, then make the data fit. Dam fools.

Dinos stomped around for about 150 million years not 150 according to paleontologists. That is lots of cutting the cheese. No matter how you slice it, it’s a very long time.

This is certainly good news.

So Dinosaurs emitted more CO2 than all modern sources, and yet they thrived for 150 million years.

I would say that is proof positive that there is no threat to our way of life from modern CO2 emission, well at least for onother 149,900,000 years or so.
