You have no idea if this is true or not.

It is clear there were once palm trees in Antarctica. i.e. The earth is not a static place.

Well am here to tell you here in NYC it is middle of January and thus far daytime temperatures have raged between 48F to near 60F. We've had a few really cold days where temps went below freezing, but nothing lasts beyond a couple of days. Then it is right back up to "warm" weather.


So far we've had more rain than snow, in fact it has been raining much of this week. Haven't bought a new heavy winter coat in years. More often than not you can get away with a hoodie and or thick sweater and down vest.

Trump is great. He alone can fix everything.

I thought the earth is 6 thousand years old and everyone descended from Adam and Eve?

True a carbon tax won't effect the Milankovitch Cycles but it can certainly change mans habits.


Why is the earth heating the last 100 years?

Yes we know, we know and do you want to tell us the physical phenomena that caused warming. Yes, 53 Million years ago there were palm trees in Antarctica do you know why, specifically.
