Ok, I have a really stupid question. Was there ever a time in earth's history where the artic circle had a climate that would have sustained lush prehistoric animal or plant growth? How did all these "fossil fuels" get up there in the first place?

Actually, it's a really good question, which I don't know the answer to. However, Greenland is called that because it once was, a 'green land', so perhaps it's possible the Arctic wasn't a popsicle at some time in history.

But never fear, I suppose AlGore, who invented sliced bread, the printing press, the Internet, and all prolly (thinks he) knows.

Only marine life, which is rich and abundant today. The Artic Circle has no land mass.
