Antarctica's cooling aka polar icecap growth. My opinion: this is more great news showing how insane and unscientific the global warming and vitalist carbon cults are.

Because ostracods couldn't survive in the current Antarctic climate, their presence suggests that the southern-most continent hasn't always been as frigid as it is today.

"Present conditions in this Antarctic region show mean annual temperatures of minus 25 degrees C (Celsius) [minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit]," said Mark Williams of the University of Leicester, co-author with Ashworth of the fossil-find report in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. "These are impossible conditions to sustain a lake fauna with ostracods."

What argument are you trying to make with this? That you can find fossils in the Antarctic, or that you don't know what the article was about?

Fossil Suggests Antarctica Much Warmer in Past

Huh, you just found that out ? lol

What argument are you trying to make with this? That you can find fossils in the Antarctic, or that you don't know what the article was about?Probably that there were SUV's around 14 Billion years ago?

Fossil SUVs, of course. How did this not occur to me?

Hum,
for all those who didn't know adready....

“During the Permian period the plant life became dominated by fern-like plants such as Glossopteris, which grew in swamps. Over time these swamps became deposits of coal in the Transantarctic Mountains. Towards the end of the Permian period continued warming led to a dry, hot climate over much of Gondwana.”

"Tiny fossils have helped refine the timing of the climate shift that gave rise to Antarctica's remarkable Dry Valleys, a landscape akin to Mars.
The famously ice-free terrain enjoyed more benign, tundra-like conditions 14 million years ago - but then flipped to the intensely cold setting seen today."

My opinion: this is more great news showing how insane and unscientific the global warming and vitalist carbon cults are. its more like good ration science twisted by a moron(YOU) who doesn't understand it into supporting the bullshit theory you ascribe to.

Fossil SUVs, of course.
4.5 billion year old SUVs are the only way to explain global cooling.

Just shut up already, this is a science forum.

this is a science forum.
So why don't you go back to the pseudoscience or religion forum where you belong?

Why would the people who use science go there. You really need to stop projecting.

This is a little off-topic, but has there been any exploration for oil/gas and coal in Antarctica and/or its off-shore waters? And who owns it?
