Those dinos must have been highly industrialized for CO2 counts that high.

Well, you see what happened to the dinosaurs don't you? They became a lower form of life - journalists.

The question arises as to how warm the water was in lower levels. Had it been too warm, would fish have survived? Also, would there not have been variations in ocean water temperatures between the equator and the poles, as there is now?

The greenies should be happy with us. We're just trying to create an environment in which a long-extinct species can come back and thrive.

We're ecologists.

Can you imagine the hurricanes in those days?

Wonder what kind of really big SUVs those dinos had?

...until next week when this highly reliable, scientific discovery is thoroughly discredited by the next highly reliable, scientific discovery.

Check out this web site and look at the chart on historic global temperatures over the eons. It shows we are coming out of a cool period. It backs up this article. If humans think we are responsible for this warming trend, they are as ignorant as it gets. Our past modern human history of a few thousand years or so is INSIGNIFCANT in the overall history of the plant Earth. If you think otherwise, you may be a narcissist with way too high regard for yourselves.

Yeah, and look what their Kyoto pact did for them!

Ocean hot in days of dinosaurs, study finds

I wonder what the press release by the Evangelical Environmental Network
on this will say.

But, Bice said, when those ancient levels of CO2 are plugged into climate-simulation models, they don't produce such high ocean temperatures. So, if the scientists' interpretation of those past climate ingredients turn out to be accurate, then actual warming from greater carbon dioxide levels may be much greater than predicted by the models, the scientists argue.

They admit that something may be wrong with their model (a model in which CO2 concentration drives warming) but the error is in underestimating the effect of CO2 concentrations on temperature. What if warming causes CO2 concentrations to spike we may need a model for that.

It seems that these scientists don't know what they don't know. But they are willing to base (our) economic policy on the most pessimistic guess they can come up with.

That would have meant few if any fish in the tropical waters. The ability of water to hold oxygen is inversely proportionate to its temperature

Not quite global warming ping but interesting.
