I WAS very interested in the article about the once green Antarctica (Yorkshire Post, August 2). Apparently the whole of Antarctica was a palm-covered paradise some 50 million years ago. Now that really is global warming. Whatever life forms existed then must have had a huge number of coal-fired power stations and gas guzzling sledges.
In reality, I understand that one substantial volcanic eruption creates as much greenhouse gas as man has created in his whole history and I wouldn’t mind betting that whatever authorities were in power 50 million years ago found a way to blame everything on poor working class dinosaurs.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
