It's getting hot in here.
The Amazing Meeting 7 is held July 9-12, 2009 at the South Point Hotel and Casino
Skeptrack at Dragon*Con 2009 is September 4-7 in Downtown Atlanta, GA.
Imagine the Arctic Circle lush with vegetation and dinosaurs.
Imagine yourself running pretty fast from Albertosaurus.
Folks in Montana – before there were folks there – could have picked citrus fruit.
Dr. Donald Prothero teaches Geology, Paleontology at Occidental College.
Prothero's new book is:
Greenhouse of the Dinosaurs: Evolution, Extinction and the Future of our Planet. 
Earth's climate has always been in a state of change.
There is plenty of new information about dinosaurs living in Arctic climates.
During the Cretaceous period the poles were much warmer.
Superplumes may have caused high levels of green house gases in the Cretaceous period.
The study of the teeth of early mammals also reveals clues about climate. 
The KT impact extinction theory is one of those that has changed. 
Then there is the case of the new "missing link" Ida.
Ida is a 47-million-year-old fossil from a German shale pit, that was found 20 years ago.
The adapidae gave rise to the anthropoids, primates that include apes, monkey and us.
New hominids are surfacing all the time.
