Here's the money line:
"It's true the Arctic was much warmer back then, but it wasn't any picnic. The size and shape of fossilized leaves found with the bones enabled Godefroit's team to estimate a mean annual temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with wintertime lows at freezing."
Wait...sites above the Arctic had temps like that? How is that possible when there were no SUVs?

How can this be?? I thought the Earth was only six thousand years old..

“Dinosaurs Lived in the Arctic”.....We have a lot in DC also. Would term limits have helped the Dinosaurs?

It seems to me...the minute you dig up any dino bones in the Arctic...then this entire “save-the-carbon-save-the-arctic” argument goes down the tubes.
One of the interesting things about human beings...is that we adapted. We moved...we sustained ourselves....we found reasons to change...we migrated...we were willing to be different. As I gaze at environmentalists...I see the least changeable group of humans in existence today.

Even if the Earth does get warmer (which I don't think will happen), what it will mainly mean is that vast stretches of Canada and Siberia now become more habitable.

have they found eeevil SUV fossils? I’m sure that’s what caused it.
To: D Rider
Hmmmm...could be. Guess I should rethink my doubts and replace my Ford SportTrac with a PUMA.

Right, the article mentions drift, but the scientists estimate the site was stil wel above the Arctic Circle.
