> > Another article in today&apos;s [i]Sunday Times [/i]reports on research by Professor Graeme Ruxton (St Andrews U.) and David Wilkinson (Liverpool John Moores U.) which suggests that dinosaurs may have contributed to their own extinction by burping and farting such quantities of methane that they caused disastrous global warming. The article concludes that "[i]the implications for the human race are obvious[/i]" ... which doesn&apos;t augur well for the baked beans industry.  >  > Until now, an asteroid strike and volcanic activity 65 m years ago were the "hot" favourites, but both scenarios make me wonder how they can be made to fit in with theistic pre-planning. I much prefer the thought of God saying: "Ugh, I can&apos;t stand this pong any more!" and chucking his asteroid at a herd of sauropods.-I&apos;m smiling like a sauropod at your entry. We must now envision herds of the beasts roaming all over the Earth creating methane levels high enough to cook them to extinction! Two points: first, this is the type of crazy research that too much government research money produces. What did they research, counting fossilized dino scat? Or is there a computer model for dino toilet? Second: haven&apos;t they  caught on to the floods in England, telling them that the climate gurus really don&apos;t understand climate. Next we will have studies of sauros pissing in the wind and creating erosion of the higher surrounding rocks. There will be pictures of the marks they left!
