Real question is: What ended the last ice age?
Well, the liberals, socialists and communists, would say there was far fewer people at that time, that were exhaling all that CO2, so their solution, is to kill off 2/3 of the earth's population. Wouldn't it be nice if they would gloriously and wonderfully begin that population reduction, and deprive us of their presence, by offing themselves?
I remember in the late 1950s my JrHi teacher told us that a squirrel could go from New York to the Mississippi river without ever touching the ground.
From the Mississippi to the Rockies it was prairie.
Lightning strikes in NY and IA, then, could cause wild fires that would burn the entire eastern half of the US. And nothing to stop it.
Never mind the steppes in Russia. Not sure about Africa.
I’m guessing all that biomass being converted to CO2 beats our cattle flatulance and auto exhaust all to hell.
I am waiting for some climate scientist to publish a paper on what the optimum climate is for our biosphere. The first question that would naturally flow would be where is our current trend in relation to this finding.
That nobody seems interested in this vital comparison indicates that the climate is being studied for other purposes. Since all the urgent demands that flow from today’s climate science all converge on policy solutions that involve statism, bigger government, higher taxes, less personal liberty, the bigger picture tells me all that I need to know about “climate science”. It is socialism and Gaia worship by other means.
I am also curious about how deep the ice got during the last serveral periods of glaciation of the northern hemisphere, but that is a question for another time.
I find it interesting how often scientists refer to luck in their explanations of things they don’t understand.
But it is different now, never has there been a creature extant upon the earth as evil as the European Christian male.
How did Earth survive five extinction-level events in the past?
The earth has been completely frozen twice in it’s history, then warmed somehow. This is where the idea of CO2 warming the planet came from.
The dinosaurs stopped driving their SUVs.
