Breaking: Over the last four decades, trace amounts of CO2 have allegedly caused a 132-kilometer band of lifeless territory to form all around the Earth at the equator

"Species of animals and plants have been moving their distributions away from the equator and towards the poles much faster than previously realised. In fact species are moving northward in the northern hemisphere and southward in the southern hemisphere on average at a rate of about 16km or 17km per decade," Professor Thomas said.

"These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away from the equator at around 20cm per hour, for every hour of the day, for every day of the year. This has been going on for the last 40 years and is set to continue for at least the rest of the century," he said.

"It's just a phenomenal rate of movement of the whole of biological life away from the equator towards the poles..."

As we exit the "IPCC" Grand Solar Maximum and enter the Landscheidt Grand Solar Minimum, we will experience a profound cooling change lasting decades, wherein the animals will gravitate back to warmer regimes, again.

It's planetary mechanics that drives climate, plain and simple, reproducible and indisputable. Unconnectable anecdotal information backed up by woefully inadequate global warming model projections using dubious initial conditions is not proof of anything. Global warming theory is not backed up any historical data at all.

Any theory can be destroyed by one indisputable fact. That said, why do ice core data reveal that CO2 increases occur about 800 years AFTER the temperature increases? Can the "Consensus" explain that?
