We're not including the Scots in this, are we?

No. As is well known, the first Scot had a severe under-bite.

The danger is that huge ice mass in Antarctica. It is off center already, and it could start a wobble which would accelerate quickly. The new axis would form in days or less. If earth flips in half a rotation, the motion would make standing difficult.

Ancient tools found in Britain show that humans lived in northern Europe 200,000 years earlier than previously thought, at a time when the climate was warm enough for lions, elephants and saber tooth tigers to also roam what is now England.

This sentence alone disproves two long held beliefs. First, that scientists have some magical ablity to place basic ballpark dates to things and events, and second that global warming is man-made.

"...or merely to scavenge from carcasses that predators left behind."

Theyre still promoting the meat as a recent addition to diet foolishness.

A "pert" is apparently someone with common sense because too many of these experts have none.

LONDON (AP) -- Ancient tools found in Britain show that humans lived in northern Europe 200,000 years earlier than previously thought, at a time when the climate was warm enough for lions, elephants and saber tooth tigers to also roam what is now England.

Scientists said Wednesday that 32 black flint artifacts, found in river sediments in Pakefield in eastern England, date back 700,000 years and represent the earliest unequivocal evidence of human presence north of the Alps.

A fairy tale and pure nonsense!
