I have a pretty good understanding of Earth’s cycle of cataclysmic pole shifts. I’m used to the idea that the entire crust of the planet rotates to relocate ice caps to the equator, where the ice caps from the last polar regions melt and new ice caps form at the new polar regions. I know there are no global “ice ages” just regional ones like Antarctica and Greenland have now because they’re at the poles. North America was buried in ice - and Siberia was warm, with huge herds of animals - until about 12,000 years ago because the North Pole was in Hudson Bay. The weight of the ice cap formed the Bay we see today.
But I realize many other scientists are paid to ignore pole shift evidence, and this is comically obvious in articles like this one that came out yesterday: “Antarctica Had A Lush Rainforest And Dinosaurs: Despite zero sunlight in the winter, life found a way.”
They claim: “the sample of ancient soil was rich in preserved roots, pollen, and spores, indicating that the continent was once abundant in plant life. The discovery was especially surprising since Antarctica has winters of total darkness, meaning the Sun doesn’t grace the continent for four months at a time. Despite this, a wealth of plant life was seemingly able to thrive here. "The preservation of this 90-million-year-old forest is exceptional, but even more surprising is the world it reveals. Even during months of darkness, swampy temperate rainforests were able to grow close to the South Pole…”
This is nonsense. Yes, Antarctica has hosted a rich biosphere in the past, and it did once have dinosaurs and it has had dense forests - many plants, animals, and humans have lived there - and you don’t have to go back 90 million years for such conditions. Antarctica is currently at the South Pole. But it doesn’t always have a polar location, just like North America doesn’t always have one. No forests grow at the pole in months of darkness. It’s absurd to claim that life found a way, when this article is really saying Antarctica must have been at a much warmer latitude, and we just aren’t allowed to admit this.
Commenting on dinosaurs there, they continued: “It's equally unsure how large animals managed to live through the 4-month polar nights, although they might have migrated in the winter or developed some other survival mechanisms.” Uh huh. Cold blooded dinosaurs that need warmth, and their tropical forests of plants that need sunlight - lived through four or more months of freezing darkness.
If you want the truth about pole shifts without the nonsense about being “unsure” how to explain such things - I’m sure you’ll understand after reading POLE SHIFT: Evidence Will Not Be Silenced.
It is remarkable that anyone would make such a claim that "golly gee .. it is a mystery how they survived through months of darkness" without considering the obvious. At this point.. it is obvious what happens to this planet for anyone who has actually taken the time to try to understand.
Nice article. You are right.. it is nonsense.
