One reason is the difference in geography: the continents drift with time, and during the Cretaceous their placement was quite different from today, as were the contours of mountains and other features of surface relief.
Major, known changes of surface temperature in the past correlate well with variations in atmospheric greenhouse gases and appear to be caused or amplified by them.
The net impression of this evaluation of "things past" is that the future climate promises to look very different than the present and, perhaps more disconcertingly, possibly unlike anything known before.

Instinctively, when he awakes, he looks to these, and in an instant reads off his own position on the earth’s surface and the amount of time that has elapsed during his slumbers; but this ordered procession is apt to grow confused, and to break its ranks.
Perhaps the immobility of the things that surround us is forced upon them by our conviction that they are themselves, and not anything else, and by the immobility of our conceptions of them.

No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin.
And at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory - this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with a precious essence; or rather this essence was not in me it was me.
And each time the cowardice that deters us from every difficult task, every important enterprise, has urged me to leave the thing alone, to drink my tea and to think merely of the worries of to-day and my hopes for to-morrow, which can be brooded over painlessly.

 Remembrance of Things Past on stage in London's West End Royal National Theatre - ticket buying and theater guide
Remembrance of Things Past, at the National Theatre, is an adaptation by Harold Pinter and Di Trevis of Pinter's own Proust screenplay written in 1972; and that itself, was a distillation of the 3,500 pages of Proust's oceanic novel.
One man's past plays before him in a jumbled rush of scenes, sights and sounds that at last capture the essence of his life and lost times.
Played in the kind of temporal limbo Magritte might have designed, and suffused with the distant dreamy piano sounds of Dominic Muldowney's music, the adaptation moves to the climax where the narrator, Marcel (Sebastian Harcombe) hits on the theory of involuntary memory that will allows him to turn his memories into a great novel.

In creating these collages, Crouppen is already working with the remains of the past, tokens of former lives.
By working with the Iris printer, not only does the technology bring "authority to the image that transcends the original collage," as Crouppen describes the product, but metaphorically, in these scenes incarnating shadows and ghosts, the printmaking process takes them into a territory further removed from their physical origins.
