Re: Global Warming
I mean, we know empirically that the North Pole was once a lush, rainforest.
That's quite a feat, considering that at no point in the history of life of Earth has there been land at the North Pole.

Re: Global Warming
Geographic. If he meant the magnetic north pole, he would've specified. Not that the magnetic north pole ever had a thriving rainforest either, since by the time rainforests existed, the area around the possible locations of a magnetic north pole had already frozen over.

Re: Global Warming
Greenland wasn't in the Arctic Circle at the time. There's a little thing called "continental drift", that despite the name, applies to more things than continents.
