From your source:
Emphasis added.
The first, a 190 million-year-old plant-eater from the early Jurassic period, was found by chance on December 7—13,000 feet (3,900 meters) up a mountain. A mountaineer accompanying paleontologists turned up the animal's huge pelvis in an informal search only a few miles from the South Pole.
From my source:
www.enotes.com...
By the end of the Jurassic Period, water separated South America from Africa, and the Australian and Antarctic continents were clearly articulated. The Antarctic continent began a slow southward migration toward the south polar region.
Isn't it funny that the people who doubt man-made global warming are also the ones that don't understand high school science.
Edit to add:
Since I doubt that my post is self explanatory to a man of your intellect, I thought I would explain further. The world did not look the same back then as it does now. There was once only one continent called Pangaea. So the dinosaurs found on Antarctica got there when the land mass was much further north and still connected to Africa and the Americas.

It's a lot better to point out the holes and let them call you names, rather than sink to their level.

The way things are going, sinking to new levels is exactly what's gonna happen.

Look at the increased volcanic activity all over the world. The same, and much worse is happening with underwater volcanoes which there are many more than those on land.

Yeah, and all you can show is that they might help glaciers melt and flow in some areas, lol.

Can someone please explain the argument that because natural cycles of temperature and weather change occur that means that man-made global warming isn't occurring or is negligible? Hopefully there aren't many that still think it isn't occurring at all.
I think it is simply undesirable for most to consider that climate change is occurring because of what we are doing. Even if you only think that our emissions might be a risk, is the risk really worth the convenience? Especially in the current economy and all the jobs that could be created going green.
If you want to keep driving your Hummer, then you could at least acknowledge that we should preserve the rain forest (as even if we aren't causing climate change, we are destroying many species of animals). And it should be acknowledged that air pollution is a bad thing regardless if climate change could cause an ice age which leads to the extinction of humankind.
Not only that, but we are well aware that oil is a finite resource.
No matter what, we should be going green. So why bother arguing against human-induced climate change?
By the way, it sucks that everyone that believes in global warming gets lumped in with Al Gore now. I haven't heard a single thing he has said about it to be honest. I don't follow the guy and I don't live in the USA.

I'm sorry, you are right. The world was created in six days, the earth is 6000 years old, and by the way, its flat.
I feel so much better.

Heat flow from the earth is a minimal influence on climate, and you have absolutely no evidence that it has contributed even an iota to current climate change. Just ridiculous babblings.
