Global Warming

Speaking of global warming (see yesterday's post right below this on sunspots), here's a good link showing the climate history of the world.

Scroll down to the bottom of the opening page and you'll see a diagram with estimated, average climate data for the past two billion years.

During the last 2 billion years the Earth's climate has alternated between a frigid "Ice House", like today's world, and a steaming "Hot House", like the world of the dinosaurs.

Draw your own conclusions.

Wait, now, I heard a minister say the Earth was only 6000 years old, and the dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark. How can there have been climate two billion years ago?
