That is exceptionally warm for a location near the South Pole, where the average annual temperature now is around minus 40 Fahrenheit .
The dark-brownish gray soil was composed of fine-grained silt and clay bearing remains of fossil roots in a dense network, pollen and spores spanning 65 types of plants, with individual cell structures clearly visible. Klages said the plants included conifers, ferns and flowering plants. While they did not find any animal remains, Klages said there likely were dinosaurs, flying reptiles called pterosaurs and many insects. Dinosaur fossils from Antarctica have been known for years.
The research underscores the dramatic climate changes Earth has undergone in the past - and is currently undergoing today.

Tha Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that Antarctica contributes only 0.27mm/yr to sea level rise. That is precisely 1/5 the thickness of a US dime. A new dime, of course. There is massive geothermal activity under the Ice Sheet affecting movement of glaciers.
So more eveidenxe climate change existed well before man did
Still believe in ' man-made climate change'?
De seguro en el corto plazo habrá no solo paisajes diferentes sino canales marítimos abiertos en el norte, deberá dársele otro uso a los barcos 'picahielo' a partir de entonces.
Don't forget back in 82' also in Antarctica a team of scientists from Norway uncovered a strange craft buried beneath the ice after a series of pings were picked up on radar.
Los ciclos geológicos-climáticos tienden a repetirse cada cierto tiempo. Allí está el Sahara, guarda recuerdos en cuevas de lo que fue una vida pasada llega de exuberancia, por cuenta de la naturaleza.
U finally found this out? Blows the climate crisis theory doesn’t it?
What
Damn global warming
And no ancient civilization has been found there. 😑😑
stop digging this shit up.
Why just 90 million year old? Make it 180million year old it sounds better. Or, why not just swap out million and stick in billion, nobody would know the difference You evolutionists crack me up! 🙄
silverlinings
tell us something we don’t know!! as you know, not all of us are dumb
AliceQue17 It would have looked like rain forests in New Zealand today.
AliceQue17 Firm evidence of global warming. GretaThunberg and the Eco-Fascists will be thrilled.
It’s almost as if the earth drastically changes climate on its own and there’s nothing arrogant humans like GretaThunberg can do to stop it
Crazy how that rainforest was replaced by fucking ice before a single fossil fuel was ever burned
DUUH! It has been known of for decades, ever since the reality of plate techtonics and the warmth of the planet in the days of the dinosaurs and before the mini ice ages and subsequently man and his pollution began its inevitable destruction.
How on earth would we discover things like this w/o climate change?😫
So when will Earth rotate again and all frozen areas will melt and civilization will freeze?
Log that too!! Every last chip! lol
Have they not heard of Continental Drift
Great.. now every fossil fuel company on the planet will want their hands on the southern continent.
Fake Libturd eco-warriors: global cooling is killing forests, we need to remove the ice and resuscitate the Antarctic forest.
Old news, literally. All Natural Climate Change from millions of years ago show that Antarctica didn’t used to have ANY ice, so not such a disaster after all. Guess we’re gonna live more than 8-10 years. Whew, that was a close call, huh? So, Greta and Daddy have to get real jobs?
Incredible! I wonder which ancient animals lived there
MileHigherPod this is interesting!
But, but, but climate change is only caused by humans. CNN told me so
Lie
Ancient maps exist that show the coast lines of Antarctica iceless.
because we had ozone problems from hair spray in the 80,s witch let to global cooling and because we have been over run by farting cows we went through global warming. Now the climate changes every day. Its really bad here some days rain some days none. Were all screwed 😆
Posted 10x in the past 4 days. Let it GO.
Next step: drill drill drill.
Something is going on down there. Too many questions and not enough answers. What is under the ice?
😳
Well what did you expect the whole arctic use to be a plush trupical forest Millions of years ago just more proof climate change is a joke how do you explain it turning into an arctic wasteland when there were no humans to foul it up then!
The funniest part about this is the way they act like they're just learning this.
So it hasn't always been cold in Antarctica? Global warming, then global cooling, then global warming? Yes, man has an impact, but do we REALLY know how much?
Proving what we already know, climate change occurs whether humans are around or not. 90 million years ago there were no humans and that warm forest turned into the coldest place on Earth.
Climate change not caused by man you say?
AvalancheToo when it was at higher latitudes no doubt.
At last - some good news completely diverse from the present crisis!
In early ‘70s at Pt Barrow, AK ice cores found forests not unlike modern Virginia and even what look like whitetail deer bones. These matched the timeline perfectly with the verbal history of the local Inuit griot.
Greta won't like this.
WHAT. Antarctica was Warm then got Cold and now it is getting Warm again? Shocking. Almost seem cyclic.
what is the earth telling us all/. plant 10 million new trees all over our nation increase the 02/. listen to all our science/.global warming is NOW!/.
AND..... I will bet they will find 125 foot tall woodpecker that could bring down a sky scraper anywhere in the world...
Climate Change causes end of world in 90 million + 12 years 😐
It was once all green. Another cycle of our planet.
Posted 5x last week....move ON.
You dont say? So that must mean that climate change is a natural phenomenon that is and had been exploited for political gains....smh
Those were the days.
Great discovery.
how solid is this infomation ?
Impossible said an evangelical.
Which Humans were responsible for that climate change?
Wow. It’s almost like the climate has drastically changed without humans in the equation, according to modern science. 😉
I would like to thank globalwarming for letting us make such an incredible discovery :)
Good news
Awww
Yikes so I am definitely assuming this is really bad for the ozone
Climate change? ClimateEmergency ?
Welp, there goes the FlatEarth theory that Antarctica is the ice wall around the world. Er wait, this rainforest “discovery” is just reinforcing the conspiracy. Brilliant.
So it was a lot warmer before. If you study historical climate change you will quickly see through this BS man made climate change hoax.
We should listen to Dansbury...
This is not news, PBS already did a documentary on it.
Earth has changed over and over again, from Snowball Earth to tropical conditions world wide. And humans are accelerating the process. Humans can pump out more green house gasses in a year than it took earth to accumulate over millions of years.
The Earth rotates in a wobble at a tilt because of an ancient collision with either a huge comet or small planet -which gave us the moon-the Antarctic used to be the equator.
What caused that climate change ?
Yet, prehistoric creatures called Democrats still survived.
That can't be possible according to the MainstreamMedia, ClimateChange before people? 🤔
Global warming? Damn you humans! Oh wait!!
But there were no republicans to heat the planet back then...
Also ruins the theory of most gods including Christian, Islam and Judaism.
Damn everyone is now grounded. Just when something interesting comes around.
They also found the Soul of the Democratic Partly Fossilized Oh found Jimmy Hoffa too Next will find the Souls of the MSM in the Arctic HAHAHAHA
Wow! What a find.
Wow how seriously awesome is this discovery!
That kind of wrecks the climate change debate i would think.
What a surprise...This simply implies nature has it own cycle of weather...much longer-term than the 50 year horizon most folks think as 'normal'. A few of us have said this for years. This is a dying planet even with out our help. Nature will do what it wants in the end.
Wonder what virus or pandemic it may be waiting to release into the animal world?
Duh. You didn't really think that Antarctica born and raised at the south pole, did ya?
It’ll be back in a few years.
There was global warming 90 million years ago? 🤫
90 million huh! That's a lot of millions! It's stated as if there was no doubt it's 90 million! 90 million!
I cant wait to see how spins this to blame Trump
Great. Vegetation appears AFTER we eat each other. Well played, MotherNature Savage but well.. played. 🍸 Antartica
Wouldn't that suggest that if the ice melting there would be a forest to replace it?
