"It was a green beautiful place," said Prof Jane Francis, of Leeds University's School of Earth and Environment. "Lots of furry mammals including possums and beavers lived there. The weather was tropical. It is only in the recent geological past that it got so cold."

Scientists blame 'dinosaur gases' for global warming...
British scientists have calculated the methane output of sauropods, including the species known as Brontosaurus.
By scaling up the digestive wind of cows, they estimate that the population of dinosaurs - as a whole - produced 520 million tonnes of gas annually.
They suggest the gas could have been a key factor in the warm climate 150 million years ago.
Develop a theory, make everything else fit.
Believer's Dogma:High levels of CO2 gas supposedly causes warming.
Skeptics ask: do higher temperatures cause of higher CO2 levels?
NO! That doesn't fit the template.
Do higher levels of sugar cause tea to heat up; or does hot tea hold more sugar in suspension?
For the answer look in the bottom of your tea glass.
