If you read the article, it is a classic example of specious causality. This “random pair” shift occurred about 6,000 years ago. Incidentally, that’s about the time sedentary agriculture began to emerge and human communities began to form. So of course, the latter MUST be the cause of the former.
But it is not hard to believe that GOD had a great impact at that time! This was when He set up the Garden of Eden and breathed life into Adam and Eve. After the fall, they were expelled from Eden and GOD cursed the ground, so that would be another climate impact.
Wait until the alarmist say about climate change when the Tribulation starts. Maranatha
“...Co-occurrences of most taxon pairs...”
Too racy for me. I mean, I’ve seen pairs, nice ones. But never more than a nice pair at a time.
I think we should finally acknowledge what many blacks have been telling us about where civilization began.
It was the Africans!

Well, it was a subtle change back then. But, 1,500 years later, when the Egyptians started flying around in airplanes, it really took off.
Remember when Science used to have falsifiability as their cornerstone?
Yeah, those days are long gone.
These Climate Change fools believe in “Evolution” as much as they do in “Climate Change”. Yet when Nature evolves Homo Sapiens the first they they do is WHINE about what Homo Sapiens is doing.
We had tooth and claw evolution for land animals for over 300 million years and would have more of the same had Humans not evolved a big enough brain and the limbs to manipulate their own living environment.
But the Climate Change crowd betrays their OWN philosophy and apparently rails AGAINST the evolution they hold as a high sacrement!
How amazing; who would’ve thunk it! Not bad for a species that the idiots on the left think are too stupid to live.
I have a degree in Anthropology/Archaeology with a Minor in Geology, plus graduate studies in Anthropology, and, to quote the actor Sal Bisiglio, the Indian Chief in “THe Frisco Kid”, when reading a Torah Rabbi (Gene Wilder) was carrying, “I’ve read the whole thing and didn’t understand a single word of it”.
Now you know why I quit wanting to be an Anthropologist. Half of them are crazy and the other half are questionable.
Since the Big Ice Age ended about 11-12,000 years ago, it is logical that animal and plant life would change with the retreating of the ice, more green plants able to grow (i.e. food for herbivores), and more animals for humans to hunt for food (There were no McDonald’s around yet. I can just image some Mastodon hunter asking his fellow hunters, after cooking a kill, “You want fries with that?”).
Just like shit, “CHANGE HAPPENS”. Man has had an effect on the land/waters but just how much is debatable and should be subject to a scientifically honest study effort, not PC environBabble and “modeling” as the truth.
The only “modeling” I liked was putting together Marx, Revell and Aurora air planes, ships, and tanks. I never sniffed the glue but some of these scientists today seem to be doing it by the bucket.
I love science and teach my granddaughter how to find minerals, fossils, unusual rocks, as well as how to recognize plants and trees, etc. You get the idea. We buy a lot of “Guides” to plants/flowers, animals, trees, butterflies and birds so that she can learn about them long before seeing them.
Our background is a mini-nature preserve and learning center. No “modeling”, no “speculation”, no guestimation. Just empirical observations over time, with photos.
We have had “Voodoo Economics” and now we have “Voodoo Science”, to the detriment of society and education.
A good scientist and teacher is worth their weight in gold, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have had many of them. I pity the kids today who get Grant-Chasers and Science Speculators rather than the old-time scientists who followed Kameney’s 10 steps to empirical science, from Hypothesis to Experimentation to Final Analysis and Conclusions.
PS: Not all the scientists listed in the credits for this study are frauds or incompetent. I suspect that many are honest people who work hard, but if they have allowed themselves to be coopted by the leftist “Climate Change Uber Alles” school, then “Science, we have a problem.”
Salting the Erf is a bad practice.

SUV’s and incandescent bulbs were around 6,000 years ago?
Who knew?
Junk science mag, badly written, fits nicely in the waste basket - I don’t have a fireplace so I can’t speak to its fire starting abilities.
If it is from DC, it has an agenda ...
"Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" (English: "Furthermore, (moreover) I consider that Carthage must be destroyed") often abbreviated to "Ceterum censeo", "Carthago delenda set", or "Delenda est Carthago"[1] (English: "Carthage must be destroyed")
Isn't the destruction of the Ba'al worshipping, child sacrificing Carthaginian culture an example of cultural imperialism!
As for 6k years back, that would be about 4k BC when human population is estimated at being between 7 & 9 million globally, scattered on 4 continents, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. It was mid-Neolithic which translates to farming, domesticated animals but minimal-to-none cities in the most advanced areas. That is enough to change climate? Pardon my laughter!
A "polemic" is the very word...
OMuslim Delenda Est!
Just passed the boxful from my childhood down to the grandchildren. :)
We have had "Voodoo Economics" and now we have "Voodoo Science", to the detriment of society and education.
The grant-chasing needs to end - but all those second homes at the lake need to be paid for...
Excellent video! Thanks for posting!
We're lucky Eurasia didn't tip over this time, instead of just Guam...
