Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 27, 2012

I don’t believe it.

@Radish,I suspect that Lengberg was relieved to get it off his chest.

…and when Adam and Eve were created, they were not covered.

Florida was under water at one time. We find plenty of sharks teeth in the phosphate mines.

Obviously some very ignorant people posting here who must always find a way to justify the destruction of their planet.

Who are you saving the planet for… al-Qaeda?

I seem to recall manmade Antarctic jungles in two different comic book universes.

Dull. No comment.

After you.

Carbon dioxide isn’t the only gas that will warm the climate. Sulfur dioxide is another; guess where SO2 and other sulfates come from? Volcanoes! Like the huge volcanoes that produced the Deccan Traps.BTW, speaking of Antarctica, you can find Lovecraft’s At The Mountains Of Madness and other stories at wikisource dot org. Hundreds of writings by Robert (Conan) Howard, too.

As long as I’m here…the problem is only partially the rise in global temperature (though it might be a bit inconvenient to have New York City under a few hundred feet of water), it’s also the rate of temperature rise. In past eras the rise was relatively gradual, giving species time to move or adapt to different conditions or to mutate to avoid predators. If the current rate of rise continues this is not possible.
