COTD: Disasterbationism

clipped from wattsupwiththat.com Antarctica started drifting over the south pole as it separated from South America. As glaciers and an ice cap formed, sea levels dropped, and circumpolar winds started insulating antarctica from the rest of the planet. Then as the continent totally separated from SA, a circumpolar ocean current started up, that further isolated and insulated Antarctica from the rest of the global climate. This all made Antarctica a sort of refrigeration compressor. Since about 22 million y.a., the Antarctice ice caps have been stable during some periods of significantly greater warmth and higher CO2 levels than at present. Expeditions to the buried glaciers in the katabatic canyons have verified this, which has demolished the disasturbationist theory claims of imminent doom.
