Chris Christie Strikes a Major Blow Against Cap-and-Trade - FoxNews.com

Significant Role of Oceans in Onset of Ancient Global Cooling - US National Science Foundation (NSF)

Thirty-eight million years ago, tropical jungles thrived in what are now the cornfields of the American Midwest and furry marsupials wandered temperate forests in what is now the frozen Antarctic.

The temperature differences of that era, known as the late Eocene, between the equator and Antarctica were half what they are today.

A debate has been ongoing in the scientific community about what changes in our global climate system led to such a major shift from the more tropical, greenhouse climate of the Eocene to modern and much cooler climates.
