Bryozoans make unlikely prophets of doom. Nevertheless, scientists believe these tiny marine creatures, which live glued to the side of boulders, rocks and other surfaces, reveal a disturbing aspect about Antarctica that has critical implications for understanding the impact of climate change.
British Antarctic Survey researchers have found the dispersal of these minute animals suggests a sea passage once divided Antarctica 125,000 years ago.

Found this from a link in a comment to this thread with article from WUWT:
Inconvenient Ice Study: Less ice in the Arctic Ocean 6000-7000 years ago
Oh for crying out loud.
Amazing for such careful scientists.
none of these alpha-hotels know what they're talking about regarding GW, much less supposed AGW!
These climateers are persistent, aren’t they? But then, so was Madoff.
They are pimping for grant dollars / euros / pounds / etc.
Without climate study grants they may have to find a real job and not be able to galavant around the world on OPM then go back to their caves to stroke their beards and contemplate the universe.
Forbid that these people might actually have to figure out something useful.
Interesting article. Of course if it is found to be true or not it does not detract from the volumes of information being accumulated that points to zero probability that CO2 could cause any global warming, or for that matter anything humans can do that could grossly effect climate changes.
Those cavemen burning their fossil fuels again!

But the Vostok ice core goes back 400,000 years. How could that glacier have been intact 125,000 years ago while the ice between the Ross and Weddell Seas completely melted???
These guys have some 'splainin' to do.
These guys have some 'splainin' to do.They'll just blame whomever leaked the emails.
No worries then, since it's meerely a suggestion.
