It's insane. I recall when I first hear of Pangea. From that day forward, the continents look like a 4 year old kid's 7 piece jigsaw puzzle.
Have you looked at the polar ice cap this year? There is way to much ice to repair the cable that ran under the ice and was severed by ice scraping the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. I try to monitor the ice to the north and was amazed how far the ice came down last winter and how long it lasted. The Lower 48 seem to be hot, but those of us to the far north are having the coldest summer in years. This is way off the thread topic, but.... Be aware that this is a July photo, not February. You can see that it has grown since 2020, but it is not yet as big as 1983 but it is growing, not shrinking even by NASA photos (which could be doctored to be worse, not better. They are big "Global Warming" advocates.
The ice melted due to those nasty mastodons and their coal-fired power plants and SUVs that led to their own extinction.
That is good news, indeed. The last few years I've seen numerous videos of polar bears starving because they could not get out onto ice and hunt seals.
OK, I know this doesn't belong here... but what the hell?? Did anyone else know this about termites??? Research dating as far back as 1982 reports that termites, on a global basis, produce more than double the carbon dioxide produced by all the world’s smokestacks. That means that as warm weather enables termite population growth, termites could contribute to conditions that will further feed climate changes. It also makes termite treatment more crucial than ever.
I suspect "nature" has established a system of increasing CO2 to enable more rapid plant growth. The human CO@ stuff is just a road to the hell of controlling the population. The recent nonsense about "excess nitrogen" is incredibly stupid. N2 already makes up over 70% of the Earth's atmosphere. Anything we do is simply adding back what was previously there.
That is propaganda my friend. The polar bear population is actually increasing. For the first time, a species was listed as "possibly endangered" when the population was increasing at a measurable rate and is at the highest level in years. There is, however, some interbreeding of the polar bear with the coastal brown bear, as it is believed the polar bears were once brown bears who slowly adapted to the increased ice environment of years past. Polar bears also don't "hibernate" as many other bears do, and the females only den up when they are about to give birth.
Any increase in polar bear populations is very likely the result of a complete ban on hunting polar bears. in 1956 the Soviet gov't banned hunting polar bears, The U.S. followed that example in 1972 and Norway soon followed suit.
Indigenous folks still hunt them some, just like whales, but there are no rich hunters coming up on guided tours shooting them for their skins.
