Hey exleth, ***, Wikipedia articles are unsigned, thats why the
stuff they post is not much more credible than anything else one reads
in an Internet blog. A theory about earth's climate 650 million years

1) The name is Jake but that has nothing to do with the subject.

1) Your real name is Earl Evleth; it is not Jake

2) you and you wie Donna live at

5 r Jean-François Gerbillon
75006 PARIS, France

4) your phone number is (01) 45 48 67 20

2) Wikipedia science articles are pretty good, the snowball
earth problem gives a broad overview. It gives plenty of
references. One of the most recent ones actually places
in doubt the depth of the snowballing (the earth completely
covered)

In fact the wikipedia article itself has a temperature maphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SnowballSimulations.jpg
which shows the equitorial regions above 0°C, although most
of the earth below freezing. The proponents of the theory are
now wedded to a totally frozen earth but to a view that it
was a super glacier period in which most of the earth was
ice bound.

Well the article lists the names of a number of people who
are! Of course these are professionals. Among the non-professionals,
like myself, we suffer from the infection of curiousity, the "wanting
to know".

From the other work I have read, the earth can be considered an

unusal planetary body. The climate variations could go between
the snowball extreme of a frozen planet to a greenhouse effect
which would boil the oceans dry. This temperature range is narrow,
between 0°C and 100°C are the current atmospheric pressure.
The current planetary average is is around 16°C which is at
the lower end of that 100°C range. The average does not appear
to ever gone over 22°C.

While there are thermophile bacteria no complex animal we know
of could live if the temperature when well above 50°C, the complex
proteins
in our systems would denature (unfold, like egg albumin when
it is heated).

It is too bad that you generally lack scientific literacy,
and worse, curiousity. These are afflictions of the conservatives.
The rage to know nothing and to learn nothing.

5) What are YOUR credentials exleth? You post a lot of "scientific"
data, but you have no better idea what it means than anybody else. You
are a pompous nobody with no credentials. Now go away
