I was overwhelmed by your earth narrative giving the beginning of the world at 102002 years ago. (100000 BC).
So instead of sticking to the science of the issue
The idea of that kind of date is so unscientific that it indicates you either don't read what you paste or you believe anything you read without analysing it. It doesn't seem worthwhile thinking up an answer to such an unthought out post.

The earth's weather has dramatically changed over millenium
The real basis for scientific study is to ask the question why? Why has the earth's weather changed in the past and how is that similar or different to the present. All of these studies point to greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. It is interesting that the gasses have not always been the same, the chemistry on this planet changes over time and there is a big difference depending on whether the land is primarily over the poles or over the tropics. The particular reference you site confuses the differences in fossil record that occur as continents move from the equator to the poles and back again, with real worldwide change in climate which also happens, sometimes at the same time.
