There’s little doubt that there was abundant life on Antarctica in the past.

It wasn’t at the South Pole for most of the time.

There is no reason to doubt that there are huge oil and gas reserves there....

...Unless you think the world is 6,000 years old. The conversation pretty much ends at that point.

One of these South African burrows contained a complete skeleton of an extinct mammal-like reptile

They found burrows in South Africa. One of them contained a skeleton.

From this, we can gather that the burrows in Antarctica were dug by cat-sized mammal-like reptiles which huddled together, lived 400 million years ago, enjoyed watching sunsets, blinked an average of 7 times a minute, dreamed in color and chewed their food slowly.

How do we know all this? I told you -- we found a burrow in South Africa. It contained a skeleton. THAT'S why we know so much about life in Antarctica!!

So global warming was good then but bad now?

The ecosystem CANNOT SURVIVE without the genetic information of EACH and EVERY species. If the Stinking Hairless Jumping Rat of South Azania is allowed to go extinct, we will never find a cure for cancer, all crops will die, and the oceans will flood Coney Island.

"We've got good evidence that these burrows were made by land-dwelling animals rather than crayfish,"

Why not? There weren't too many Cajuns around back then, so the mudbugs would've had a chance to get reeeeeal big!
