Turtles and tortoises are cool.

Before this age of the earth, prior to what the Greek Septuagint calls the Catabole, the earth sat on its perfect axis and it was temperate from pole to pole.
They have even found a frozen mastadon in the north pole with buttercups still in its mouth.

Sure, it could get warm, but we are on the precipice of the next Ice Age. in fact we may well be INSIDE that Ice Age but benefiting of an interstadial of only a few thousand years duration.

Next, it gets really cold and stuff happens. That could start NEXT YEAR!

What about the SUV’s and carbon emissions!?

Voices of the Rocks

"Yet, as it will, life returned to this site of complete devastation... The world those fossils described, the one that flourished on the order of 20 million years ago, during the early Miocene epoch, was strikingly different from today's Arctic... Devon Island was covered with a forest of birch trees and conifers, a landscape that one now finds about 2,000 miles to the south, in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Maine. Now-extinct forms of rhinoceros and mouse deer browsed among the trees; shrews and pika-like relatives of modern rabbits darted through the shadows; and freshwater fish swam the lakes and streams...

"Even farther back, on the order of 45 to 65 million years ago, during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, the fossil record shows Devon Island to have been still more profoundly different. Back then, what is now the Arctic was a region of swampy lowlands, slow-moving rivers, and towering forests of dawn redwood, kadsura, and ancestral forms of hickory, elm, birch, sycamore, and maple. Primitive fishes, crocodiles, salamanders, newts, and turtles inhabited the rivers and marshes, while the forests and meadows supported flying lemurs, early primates, forerunners of today's cats and dogs, and ancestors of the rhinos, tapirs, and horses."

Northern Crater Shows Prehistoric Deep Impact
by Ned Rozell

To the rhinos and crocodiles of the far north, the day was like any other. They ate, swam and napped, unaware a celestial body was headed their way at 60,000 miles per hour. Suddenly, a wayward comet screamed into the atmosphere, struck Earth and created a bowl a mile deep and 15 miles in diameter.

Mars On Earth: Arctic Crater Reveals Martian Secrets (pt 2)

Haughton Crater is the remaining scar from a high-speed collision between Earth and some heavy object from space about 23 million years ago. The comet or asteroid that created the crater was perhaps more than a mile (up to 2 kilometers) across and slammed into the forest that existed on Devon Island. Everything was annihilated for scores of miles in all directions. The impact churned up rock from more than a mile below the surface, vaporizing much of it. It's estimated that between 70 and 100 billion tons of rock was excavated from the crater in the moments just after the impact. While clouds of dust and gas filled the air, rock rained down from the sky, much of it in the form of what geologists now call breccia, which simply means "broken up." Scattered within the breccia are pieces of a rock called gneiss that normally is dark and dense. In Haughton Crater breccia, the "shocked gneiss" resembles pumice stone -- it's ash-white, porous and very lightweight.

[ForGod'sSake]

But during the late Pleistocene period some 10,000 to 50,000 years ago -- when air temperatures were comparable to those today -- large land tortoises were found as far north as present-day Pennsylvania and Illinois, Eberle said.

Does anyone else see a problem with this statement? It was roughly ten thousand years ago the planet was coming out of the last ice age. Illinois was completely covered with ice for much of it and Pennsylvania partially. My research indicates these may not have been large land tortoises the author claims at all but the rare and reclusive Ice Tortoise that burrowed through several thousand feet of ice sheet to get away from the eevil Native American human persons trying to eradicate their species by hunting them to extinction. The technique developed by the eevil paleo hunters involved hanging around the fringes of the ice sheet as it melted and killed the little critters as they popped out in the drainage. At which point they naturally became the much yummier Ice Water Tortoise, but still not to be confused with the large land tortoise. About as plausible as the author's BS she pulled out of her A$$. I could be wrong -- where's my grant???
