The earth is pretty amazing. Global warming millions of years ago, a tropical climate, supported so many life forms in a present day artic climate.

The best series explaining earth's journey since formation is How the earth was made. Snow ball earth through the major extinction of life when the Siberian earth fissure opened up. It can be seen on YouTube in 10 episodes

We have no idea what the normal conditions of this planet are based on 4.5 billion years of deep time.

"We have no idea what the normal conditions of this planet are"

Excerpting your statement, the irony to me is absolutely that. We have no idea what normal conditions are but scientists are constantly making claim to what the age of the earth is (that changes too as "geologists" make "new" discoveries) and what conditions were like.

So much for what I was taught in public school in the sixties/seventies.

LOL! Yeah, but the warmists keep insisting things are based on record keeping. The other billion years————meh!

Proves again that Oil is a renewal resource.
