Isn't that to be expected?

Tectonics has only been a concept now for about 100 years now. And there's the super continent and all that.
Not to mention now that there's the possibility that the poles flip and the Earths North and Southern poles end up exposed to Sun and seasons.

The idea that the whole Earth needed to be a scorching fireball to support the Climate Change failed initiative, is the most laughable of all.
This is way people say Science has been hijacked by morons, fags, and commies.

Covid! Covid-19 is the crisis this year!

We can get back to global warming when the arctic melts this winter.

This isn't a story about plate tectonics so much as Milankovich cycles. Trying to fit your ideas about modern climate change onto the conditions during the cretaceous period highlights your areas of expertise and ignorance. Same basic ignorant error as "Democrats R the real slavery proponents" on a much longer time scale.

True, but what does that have to do with climate change?

Prepare for the future. Invest now in Antarctic real estate.

Milankovich cycles

John has nothing to do with this.

I get that the Common Core Science as produced by the Discovery Channel and embraced by the Cancel Culture Academia want to conflate ancient fossil rock records, with some millions of years Solar cycles and Carbon busts, while doing the dookey dance around Earth's own tectonic cycles. The Milankovich cycle doesn't prove that Antarctic was at the south pole 90 millions years ago. And I don't think those orbital variations would affect climate so wildly or life would not have made it as far as it did.

I think any major climate changes, and major upheaval in our orbit creating out of wack orbits, or placing Earth in the path of major strikes that are so massive they create mass extinctions. Come from our Planetary plane crossing paths with other planetary objects from other stars in our Galaxy as we rotate around the center of our Galaxy.
Like clockwork right on time, every couple hundred million years or so. When that happens, our continents does deck shuffle. Large objects pass by Earth dragging it closer or further from the Sun. I also believe that planetary positions around a star is an exact science. That the size and mass of the planets will make them return back to their original orbit, after the Galaxy collisions have passed.

There was nothing in the article that talks about the Milankovich cycle.
And infact they went full Climate Changetard in the final paragraph.

"Before our study, the general assumption was that the global carbon dioxide concentration in the Cretaceous was roughly 1,000 ppm [parts per million]," study co-researcher Gerrit Lohmann, a climate modeler at Alfred Wegener Institute, said in the statement. "But in our model-based experiments, it took concentration levels of 1,120 to 1,680 ppm to reach the average temperatures back then in the Antarctic."

These findings show how potent greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide can cause temperatures to skyrocket, so much so that today's freezing West Antarctica once hosted a rainforest. Moreover, it shows how important the cooling effects of today's ice sheets are, the researchers said.

It was the Silurians' SUVs and Coal Fired Power Plants.

The scientists that estimate how many years ago this occurred, are they the same ones that say global warming is going to cause the end of civilization and that masks and lockdowns will save us from certain death by China virus?

wut?

Duh. My contention isn't that plate tectonics moved a temperal forest to the pole. It is that orbital changes and other factors like GHG concentrations made the poles hospitable to the type of forest found under what is now long term ice.
