They should have stayed outta da Bulrushes!

I thought it was the ewoks of Endor but I suppose the big trees had something to do with it.

[Popman]

“The tree rings show the kind of rapid climate change that we and policymakers fear,” says Manning...

OK...rapid climate change happened some 4,000 years ago...So what...

Humm, so we are supposed to change our entire standard of living to attempt to stop something that has been occurring for eons...

Mann needs to lead the way, live in a hut like a bushmen did 4,000 years ago, I might pay attention...

A walk in the bulrushes produced one kind of leader, but the infamous “bushrushes” of today produced a small cohort of very different leaders.

Too bad they didn’t know to burn enough fossil fuels to provide a CO2 rich environment which would have allowed more food plants to survive with less water.

Feline radiocarbon wiggle match?

Ancient Egyptians who refused to accept the concept of Anthropogenic Global Warming were in de Nile.

[Teacher317]

Too many SUVs in ancient Egypt? Or maybe, juuuust maybe, the “scientific community” is actually wrong about the source of the modern “Climate Change”???? NAAAHHHH!!!

[GladesGuru]

“Ancient Egyptians who refused to accept the concept of Anthropogenic Global Warming were in de Nile.”

Au contraire - Gorbul Warming caused the Nile flow to change which meant that those Gyppos were no longer in de Nile cause it changed.

Too many chariots can do that, Ya know?

Year Round WInter

I think that would require that the Earth rotate on an axis perpendicular to it’s plane of rotation. I don’t know how much carbon dioxide that would take.

[MeshugeMikey]

Im sure we'll be okay as long as obie has Suzie Rice on the job

Either the chariots, or the large amount of sacred Bull.

[Mike Darancette]

This has been reported in other literature

~2200BC ‘Major VOLCANIC eruption’. (possibly in/around Iceland, disrupting the North Atlantic and/or Arctic circulations).

Bitterly COLD winters & indifferent, occasionally poor summers.

It was the four barrel carbs on their chariots...

Basic misconception on your part: the chariots were lightweight and used for warfare. Four barrels of anything would have collapsed them.

The barrels of carbs--and proteins & fats, for that matter--were relegated to carts.
