If we could get the liberals to shut up for once, that alone would reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions by half.

It was global warming caused by dinosaurs driving around in SUVs.

There were no dinosaurs in the Permian and anyway, back then they drove Jeeps.

The time was pre-dinosaur. Must have been intelligent squid or octopi "driving" around in SUSs (Sport Utility Subs). Burning up all that methane I guess.

What caused the fissures? A hotspot?

I don't know. I'm an impact guy.

A man of reason.

IMHO: Impact=Hotspot=fissures over massive area. Then Hotspot moves out (Maybe Hawaiian Islands).

One has to consider what mechanism was turning the Earths interior convection cycling on and off over how many hundreds of thousands of years?

Velikovsky may get slapped hard by our present astronomical crowd for his hypothesis of passing bodies generating Gravametric distrotions..which would ramp up activity in the Earth inner core.

I'm thinking the Mythology handed down is real...man saw things pass near the Earth...and the Earth answered back with catastrophic Techtonic activity,with inertial movement of water ...hydraulically gouging the Earth like a shovel.

The Earth could have been offset in its ellipse...how would anyone know for sure that orbital configuration was the same as today?

Could there have been another planet near Jupiter and Mars...like Van Flanderin hypohthesis?

Or Clube,Napier and Velikovsky...with Comets of Long duration....dislodged as the Solar System porpoised up and down thru the galactic...loosing Immense comets from the Oort cloud..which spiral in over milennia.

There was a comet which was captured by Jupiter..and then broke free..it did not fly apart like Shoe maker Levy.

What if a very large comet became trapped in a short duration orbit around the sun...becoming a less than 3 year earth crosser?

Its great they discover the difference between impact and internal convection...

I wish they would comment on the mechanism though.

Thanks for posting a most interesting article!

Can the Global Warming crowd use this to further their Hoax?

Wasn't the Moon closer to the Earth at that time?
