And Dr. Bloch - who was involved in fossil finds of a 35 ft snake and a 60 million-year-old turtle that could eat crocodiles - said similar conditions could return in "the next couple of hundred years". What about that then?
So in other words he's forecasting evolution but attaching the buzz-phrase 'Global Warming' to it as if it's the only cause, right?
Taking that assumption further, does he blame man for global warming or does he use common sense by researching the mass of evidence that suggests that global warming is part of
the Earth's natural cycle and has peaked many, many times in the past?
Only a fool would say man's pollution of Earth makes no difference to global warming because it obviously does but is it really accelerating the rise in global temperatures by that much or is it just another peak?
As there are obviously no actual witness-style records from the last peaks in global temperatures on Earth scientists have to take measurements, make assumptions of some results and the resulting forecast for the future will be - er - a guess won't it?! stevmk2
