"Snowball Earth" theory confirmed

Yeah thats no surprise. The earth is changing all the time!!! Sure it takes 100's of thousands of years, but still. When I was in Yukon a few years back I found out that they found Palm tree Fossils In Alaska and Yukon. At one time The north was a tropical place.

I don't know that I agree with the conclusion. I accept that they found deposits which were volcanically and glacially deposited and that these deposits formed in the then equatorial region. However, there is (still) a glacier on Mt Kilimanjaro. There are glaciers in the Rwenzori Range which straddle the Congo-Uganda border. There are glaciers in the Peruvian Andes. Unless the deposits found can be verified as having formed at low altitude (and I can't tell if they have), then there are other explanations which are probably more likely than 'Snowball Earth'.
