And the North Pole wasn't where it is today neither... point is that we live on moving tectonic plates and that this dip**** is too stupid to understand that simple fact."Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum." -

Okay, bye-bye.
I just recalled this one time in eighth grade when I was trying to show the girl seated next to me why the print of M.C. Escher's "Waterfall" in our geometry textbooks was physically impossible. I kept at if for a while, but she didn't get it. Eventually her friend, the girl in front of me, turned around in a huff and said to me, "C'mon, stupid, the wheel turns and makes the water go up! Duh!"Comment

And it was that failure to connect with the ladies that made you decide to be gay, amiright?I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Point of information. How long ago was the North Pole in a temperate climate?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The Arctic was tropical ~50 ma (based on the flora). Actually, tectonics wasn't the primary forcing for this change. Plate speeds are on the order of cm/year. Heading straight to say, the equator, would be ~10^4 km. So we would be talking hundreds of millions of years, at least. It just so happens, though, this time period was the last time that the atmospheric CO2 concentration was as high as it is today (and higher)."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

So wouldn't it be fair to say that the problem with Barton's question is that he didn't know enough to do a follow-up?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

No. The problem with Barton is that he was ridiculing plate tectonics. And that he was presumably trying to make an idiotic point about natural variations in the climate (the last time atm CO2 was as high as today being when the Arctic was tropical doesn't bolster that point)."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
