“It was the SUVs!
Which also became extinct”
They became extinct because Gaia imposed her will upon the racist, microagressing SUVs impinging upon the mammoths.
RE: Mammoths killed by abrupt climate change
Why? How many cars were running then? ?sarc
But...but...Fred Flintstone caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, not the mammoths!
Fred was always wolfing down Brontosaurus-burgers.
Except...one night a brain-addled Fred was singing Italian opera. Betty Rubble heard the loud cacophony & said to Barney, “Some poor mastodon must be stuck in the tar pits!”
Oh, I reckon they killed them alright - But one needs a bit of perspective. One moose (of today) will keep a small family in meat for a winter easily. A mammoth is what, equivalent to 4, maybe 6 moose?
All accounts consider man to be hunter/gatherer at that time, and such people travel light - They would not burden themselves with an overabundance... And would tend, as today, to have a winter camp... leading to a seasonal burden upon the mammoth in a particular and customary area... One mammoth being enough to keep a small band fed through that winter, not to mention any other (easier) prey that might also be on the menu.
There was “extreme” global cooling and global warming periods in the prior ice ages & interglacials.
What was the difference during the last ice age?
Man
And the extinction pattern matches the arrival of man
To the Liberals this hurts their sensibilities and they try and come up with all kinds of crazy ideas as to why the mammoths & others went extinct in order to keep their “Noble Savage” narrative going.
The citizens of Bedrock caused Mammoth extinction? Fred Flintstone should be sued...
That is the new car Obama want the auto companies to build...
I bought my Wife the talking “Baby Sinclair” when the Show was on.
You pull the string and it says all the catch phrases including “not the Mama”. She still has it in the closet.
I wish the Dinosaurs had been on longer, but then I’m still pissed that ABC cancelled the updated V Series before they could come up with a Finale.
Imagine if they never found the One Armed Man on The Fugitive. People would really have been pissed about that.
I just checked, they did 65 Shows over three or four Seasons. I didn’t realize it was on that long.
Too bad it isn’t in Syndication, but they are selling a DVD Boxed set. Might be time to hit Amazon...
was a sudden shift in the complete outer crust of Earth.
Similar to the theory in “2012” the movie.
How do they know it wasn’t man made last time?
I got your wooly mammouth
And that mining he did at Mr. Slate’s quarry damaged the environment.
Could have landed on the Ice.
Bull$#&t. An ice field is more life sustaining than a jungle? Please. Enough of this pseudoscience.
