Hi Folks,

The essential point I want to bring your attention to, is that
biologists are saying that we will soon revert back to an era from 40
millions years ago, in the Eocene epoch, when predatory animals like
sharks and crabs swam freely in the antarctic before the cold pushed
them out.

So, Hi Ho, Hi Ho, forward into the distant past we go, re-creating a
world that hasn't existed for 40 million years.

Nice experiment. Well, the sharks will be happy. I wonder how humans
will do? Of course John McCain says we can stay in Iraq for 10,000
years, so I feel better now.
