Of course it is “Bush’s fault”!

Here is a link to a NASA animation of the opening of the Atlantic due to Continental Drift which has the northern land masses traveling in south bound track towards the equator.

Can we stop this natural progression that will result in global warming by reducing our carbon footprint?

NO!

"Their data bolster interpretations of an early (Eocene) marine gateway by confirming the prediction of a continental extensional regime in the region during the period prior to the opening of small basins ca. 42 million years ago."

Do I understand this -- 42 million years ago, Drake's Passage began to open up south of the Tiera del Fuegos?

This allowed oceans of the "roaring 40s" to careen all around Antarctica, thus blocking off heat from the north, causing the Antarctic to freeze over -- the beginning of "global cooling," aka "ice ages"?

Let's see, there must be a political angle here somewhere... ;-)

Oh yes...
The new ice ages prevented the return of dinosaur Republicans, and fostered the growth of Neanderthal Democrats, who were better adapted for cold weather.

But today, finally, dinosaurs, lead by Tyrannosaurus Bush, have sneaked back in and are trying to warm up the place, thus endangering numerous subspecies of Neanderthalis Democratus, especially the barking Goridon, who because of their huge body size hate heat and want as much ice around as possible.

What do you think? Is that about right? ;-)

But many different sources now have confirmed that temperature change precedes CO2 changes and probably causes them.
