LIES! ALL LIES!
Everyone KNOWS that the climate was 100% stable and unchanging until 1910 when the evil Automobile was created as the consumer of the Sludge-of-Satan - oil.

I have noticed these little addenda also, in otherwise serious research papers. It is a craven act of obeisance to a spurious orthodoxy.

Something like that. Gotta wonder if they believe it or if they know to play the game.

The greatest question IS...
Did the third human on this planet come from two other ones(originals)..?
IF not.. you MUST make up a bodacious TALE to justify that position..

Thanks decimon and gleeaikin.
Climate change? If so, it was caused by impact -- such as the Ries Basin impact 15 million years ago.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Over 65 million years North American mammal evolution has tracked with climate change Not possible.
Climate change is only about 120 years old.
Al Gore and sundry other fake "scientists" say so.

Global climate during the Late Eocene was warmer than today. Ice had just begun to form at the South Pole. India was covered by tropical rainforests, and Warm Temperate forests covered much of Austrlia.
Map Legend here
Wikipedia-EoceneThe Eocene Epoch contained a wide variety of different climate conditions that includes the warmest climate in the Cenozoic Era and ends in an icehouse climate. The evolution of the Eocene climate began with warming after the end of the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) at 56 million years ago to a maximum during the Eocene Optimum at around 49 million years ago. During this period of time, little to no ice was present on Earth with a smaller difference in temperature from the equator to the poles. Following the maximum, was a descent into an icehouse climate from the Eocene Optimum to the Eocene-Oligocene transition at 34 million years ago. During this decrease ice began to reappear at the poles, and the Eocene-Oligocene transition is the period of time where the Antarctic ice sheet began to rapidly expand.
I'm not going to obsesses over a degree or two increase during the next century, whether or not it is man made, when we're still about 5C below median or "baseline"...and 12-ish below past maximums...and only 2 or 3C above past minimums.
