Hilarious. Attacking me personally because frog fossils in Antarctica have you pissed off.That non sequitur might be even dumber than your last one. You are embarrassing yourself.

Climate changed rapidly when again?No, you stupid ass, because they have evidence that indicates that was the case. And there are many other papers presenting evidence from other sources that back up this paper. In the meantime, you flap yap without presenting evidence of any kind for your ridiculous claims.

Take it up with the Paleontologists who made the discovery, troll girl.Starts a thread

Why? Like almost all educated people over the age of 9, this makes sense to me. You are the one who is flailing and needs to brush up.Take it up with the Paleontologists who made the discovery, troll girl.
Right. What alarms scientists are 1) how rapid the current warming is, and 2) how sensitive the climate appears to be, based on observations of the past. So scientists worry that what we don't know can hurt us. They worry about feedback loops and tipping points.Yep, frog fossils in Antarctic, glacial till from times past at the equator, lots has happened in the last 4 1/2 billion years on our planet. However, none of that is relevant to the rapid warming and climate change we are experiencing at present.
Damn Fred Flinstone and his Fred mobile causing climate change.
The first frog fossil from Antarctica has been found
An ancient amphibian from Antarctica gives new insight into when the continent got so cold.www.sciencenews.org
Yes, what we are seeing right now is very alarming. The extreme weather events, a strong La Nina, yet the global temperature is very high. Ice melts in Greenland and Antarctica for in excess of predictions. The increase in atmospheric CH4. We are driving fast on a fog shrouded road, we know it ends in a cliff, and we have no idea of how close we are to that cliff.Right.

And how is that relevant to what is happening into todays envirionment?Very interesting and thank you for posting!
Frog Fossils in Antarctica Offer Evidence of Warmer Past
Frog fossils found for the first time in Antarctica provide evidence of a warm and temperate climate in the Antarctic Peninsula and the existence of freshwater habitats which supported the earliest known modern amphibians 40 million years ago.
And how is that relevant to what is happening into todays envirionment?
Yes, frogs could have been Antarctica depending how old the fossils are and there is oil down there along with much more…Ah. So frogs are in Antarctica and palm trees in Alaska because of volcanoes.
Except volcanic activity cools the earth, Einstein.
Oil that we don't need.Yes, frogs could have been Antarctica depending how old the fossils are and there is oil down there along with much more…
No it is not. There have been very rapid changes in the Earth's climate that resulted in periods of extinction. Those periods were not cyclical, and they happened because of some major change in the environment. Right now, by the rate of species change, we are in the beginning of the sixth great extinction. And we are the cause. Environmental degradation, GHGs, and habitat depletion is the major change today.Earth climate change is cyclical.
It has been happening for millions and billions of years.
And there were alligators on the North Slope of Alaska at one time. Not relevant to what is happening today."Researchers believe the fossils are evidence the climate of the Antarctic Peninsula during the late middle Eocene geological period prior to its separation from the southern supercontinent Gondwana may have been comparable to the humid and temperate climate in the forests of South America today, where all five living species of the helmeted frog are exclusively found."
The conversation isn’t about the oil anyhoo but it is about the discovery of possible life down in Antarctica which is important or that was down there.Oil that we don't need.
Much of what is presently Antarctica was in the temperate zone in past times.The conversation isn’t about the oil anyhoo but it is about the discovery of possible life down in Antarctica which is important or that was down there.
The oil could not be touched because of treaties and the fact Antarctica is off limits and is used for science research…
