Why we won't see tropical plants in Antarctica any time soon

Why we won't see tropical plants in Antarctica any time soon | Carbon Brief

    55 million years ago, East Antarctica probably looked a lot
    different than it does today. Warmer temperatures back then mean
    that a familiar icy environment may have more closely resembled a
    leafy forest.

    These are the findings of a new study in Nature. It's received a fair bit of media coverage - a lot of which was  relatively accurate and  creatively written, while some just got creative in a photoshop kind of way.
