The earth's temperature was much higher than to-day than when the dinosaurs ruled the earth.
The temperature peaked 50 million years ago and has been going down ever since.
30 million years ago there was a sudden drop in temperature and Antarctica froze followed by a thawing and then another deep freeze 10 million years later as the earth sank into the present cold era.
The last one million years is one of cyclical glaciation every 100,000 years.
