A new species of ancient giant rhino has been discovered and it would have weighed 21 tonnes, or roughly the equivalent of four large African elephants.Researchers say their analysis points to an entirely new species that was different to other known giant rhinosThe discovery of the animal suggests the giant travelled north through Asia via the Tibetan Plateau
Scientists in north-western China made their conclusions about Paraceratherium linxiaense after examining a group of 26 million-year-old fossils found in 2015. The hornless creature's head could have reached 7 metres tall, making it taller than a giraffe and allowing it to graze treetops throughout the woodland areas of the period.
"The giant rhino has no horn and it looks like a horse more than a rhino," researcher Tao Deng told the New Scientist.In the study published in Nature, the researchers say their analysis points to an entirely new species that was different to other known giant rhinos.Scientists suggest the newly discovered rhino giant travelled north through Asia via the Tibetan Plateau.
"Tropical conditions [at the time] allowed the giant rhino to return northward to Central Asia, implying that the Tibetan region was still not uplifted as a high-elevation plateau," said Professor Deng, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
A couple of years ago they found a fossil of a huge extinct drop bear near Byron. It became extinct due to the lack of backpackers...its primary source of food.
Good thing it's not alive today. Those cunts would eat the shit out of that.
Don’t panic - it’s not now, it was 26 million years ago

'Pollution can and will get worse' as long as China can freely pollute | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says 'pollution can and will get worse' by 2030 as long as China is permitted to continue to freely pollute, while so-called developed nations are forced to cut emissions.\n\n'We learned today, this developing country is continuing its space program right now, so simultaneously they're left of the climate hook until 2030; by then, they'll have not just astronauts in space, but an international space station,' he said.\n\n LetUsBackToAus LetUsBackToAus LetUsBackToAus Interesting, what if we freely pollute too? Has anyone taken a look at the pollution our mines chug into the air and surrounds Not sure how this will ever be at zero or anywhere close :(

Net-zero 'an inherently ridiculous concept' that 'needs China and the developing world' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian's Greg Sheridan says net-zero itself is 'an inherently ridiculous concept' and to get any meaningful reductions 'you need China and the developing world'.\n\n'It means for every tonne of carbon you burn, you have to take a tonne out of the atmosphere - well no one can do that; you can plant trees but then you run out of agricultural land,' he said.\n\n'There is this provincial idea among G7 leaders and especially among the Australian commentariat that the world consists of New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London.\n\n'Between 2005 and 2018 China's emissions group by more than 70 per cent. There is no sign at all of China getting out of coal; not only that, one-quarter of all coal-fired power stations planned anywhere in the world are financed directly by China.\n\n'It's not only China, but India's emissions have also grown in that period by 70 per cent, Indonesia's have grown by 40 per cent. China alone produces more emissions than the whole of the G7 combined.'\n\nMr Sheridan said the developing world was 'simply not interested in imposing a penalty on its development' in order to meet climate targets.\n\n TIDY UP YOUR FILTHY BACKYARD BEFORE YOU LECTURE OTHERS These are very wise from centuries ago Obviously Greg and indecent fans have not reached that civility yet, from the looks of it Repeat this Greg. IF ONE RUNS SECOND LAST,DO TURN BACK AND LAUGH AT ONE BEHIND YOU Got it? What is it with Liberals and targets? ...and yes I know Sheridan isn't a MP. He just thinks he is, one thing is for sure, he's absolutely a Liberal.
