Dinosaur SUVs

From the Discovery Channel comes an article about the global warming that occurred “300 million years ago”:

The emerging story of a global climate shift a third of a billion years ago seems to be a prequel to what climate scientists expect from the current trend in global warming.

Using the same sort of Global Circulation Models as those which predict climate change today, University of Michigan researcher Christopher Poulsen and his colleagues have reproduced what might have happened on the supercontinent Pangea in the late Paleozoic era, about 300 million years ago, when the polar ice melted.

I wonder what the SUVs looked like that the dinosaur’s drove around in. They must have made a Hummer look like a toy. What a pity that dinosaurs didn’t take better care of their planet by driving hybrids and using more windmills. Maybe too many of them were skeptics, too.
