No excuse for them not knowing how to swim
Interglacial periods............meaning the ‘normal’ state is snowball Earth.................
The US government must have been in charge of the lush forests back then! What happened?
If only the Saharans from 3000 BC were driving EVs this disaster could’ve been avoided.
4000 years ago is 2000 BC. The Egyptians were kind of active about then if I understand correctly. Did they leave anything to indicate a lush green Sahara?
is it just me or does the term “catastrophic” mean exactly what virtually ANYONE says it means, neither more nor less?
Just a bunch of mummies...................
How does this ‘reaffirm catastrophic climate change’???
They have seen this confirmed in many ways. among them, are by taking samples off the ocean floor of the Atlantic near the coast of Morocco.
they can date the layers of mud going back many thousands of years. what they see is that roughly before 3500 BC the mud is thick with pollen as you would see coming off North Africa from a green grassy world.
The newer sediments are nearly devoid of pollen as you would see coming off North Africa from the desert.
The transition happened fairly quickly—within just 100 years.
Evil Egyptians, their cattle farts, oil lamps and cooking fires.
It’s all THEIR fault. To hell with natural cycles so long that stoopid people don’t have the brain capacity to grasp the reality.

suv’s were invented far earlier than I had thought!

There is a regular 40,000 year cycle of greening/desertification across Northern Africa associated with precession and other factors. Sometimes these cooincide with other things like Sea level rise due to things like polar cap melting and or volcanos, meteors, position relative to the galactic plane, stuff we cannot control.
The SUVs back then were even dirtier than they are today.
I visit Central Park in Manhattan fairly often...I really love it. Anyone who's been there can't help but notice the many rocky outcrops scattered around the park. Some of them look like mini mountains to me.
But I just discovered fairly recently that scientists say that they represent irrefutable proof that that little spot of land was,as recently as a couple of thousand years ago,enveloped in a glacier about 4,000 feet high.
I wonder what happened to that glacier!
Interesting finding, but nothing new at all re: “climate change.” The green Sahara has been well-known for a long time.
A rain belt in the Sahara Desert region and permafrost in North America.
Really? It's named Desert Desert?
(Saw that on Jeopardy last night.)
From all the cars and trucks the ancient Africans were driving
