Pretty much everything was bigger during the time of the dinosaurs.
I wonder if surface gravity was less in the past.

I don't know, but I think it has to be that eat or be eaten evolution concept, so everything grew bigger.

the tropical climate had to be six to eight degrees warmer than it is today

ZOMG global cooling!1!

 

[SagaLore]

Researchers excavating a coal mine in South America have found the fossilized remains of the mother of all snakes, a nightmarish tropical behemoth as long as a school bus and as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle.

This author seems to have a vehicle fetish.

If you put one of these on a plane, could it take off?

Only if it was on a treadmill.

Faulty logic. The plane would be eaten long before it could even attempt a take off.

I believe the more crucial issue for size restrictions involves atmospheric content and how efficient a particular organism's respiratory system and metabolism deals with the available chemical content.

This tends to be true for reptiles, at least, and is a theory for size limits in insects.
