A PBS NOVA earth science special a few weeks ago was excellent until the end. They first said that the existence of temperate conditions at the south pole in the past was not all due to shift of the continental plates, but to very high CO2 levels at that time (volcanoes mainly). As an earth scientist myself I could agree with that analysis of past geological events.

But they went off the rails when they said that unless we attack global warming and climate change to reduce CO2 we will cause a repeat of this geological event, though with a result not as drastic.

This was despite a four-month polar night, meaning for a third of every year there was no life-giving sunlight at all."

That's assuming the planet's rotation remained constant forever and its orbital path remained constant forever.

I don't believe either of the above were constant but rather over the millenia, the north and south poles were once not the poles and thus received the same amount of sunlight as the temperate climates these plants seemed to flourish in.......But what do I know

I blame dinosaur farts

Meh, let me know when they find an alien base or ancient civilization there. *thumbsup*

I keep telling people, “the globe has been much warmer and can be again without being destroyed.”

This isn’t necessarily ground-breaking to us, but the timing of the report is.

"Summer temperatures averaged 19 (66.2F) degrees Celsius and water temperatures in rivers and swamps reached up to 20 (68 F) degrees.

Too many SUV's using fossil fuels...warms it all up.

Noah’s Pre flood environment. Atheists add millions and billions of years as they have to macro-evolution to eliminate God the creator.

Plate tectonics has been a thing for a long time. Evidently there are some that are surprised stuff moves around.

I do believe this fits in with the hydroplate theory...

You guys had better check with the plate tectonic folks and astronomers to see if the South Pole was actually located AT the south pole during this time period.

Just as I suspected all along. The friggin’ dinosaurs and all their cars and freon and secondhand smoke and just, just their outright intolerance caused “climate change” or “global warming” or whatever the hell it has morphed into today. Science-denying reptilian b@stards! I knew it!!
