re: #237 CommonCents

I need my sleep. I’m outta here. Hopefully the planet will still be here when I wake up.

You are all into this and are more versed on the topic so perhaps you have a “hammer” for this one too. I saw a story recently about a massive snake fossil that lived in South America. The comment was made that the temperatures would have had to be much higher in order for a creature of that size to survive. What is your take on that?

Much higher than what? If you are saying that in the past The Earth was warmer and wetter in certain epochs than it is now, you are not saying anything new. What you seem to be missing is how much less dry Earth there was in those days.
