I believe that 55 million years ago, that location could have been thousands of miles away from the pole.

We've known for donkey years about continental drift. Haven't these guys kept up with the times?

I believe you have a point, but their claim about the fossil record makes it too sudden for continental drift to be the major cause.

But golly gee this pretty much proves that Global Warming as a human caused effect is a environmental extremist fantasy.

That was my 1st thought as well but the article states for a 'brief period" 55 million years ago.

Also I found this...

50 million years ago.
