Bush?
All those Neanderthals quit building fires, the earth cooled and frosted over. Then the Neanderthals decided that “Hey, this ain’t cool, or it is” and they started building fires again thereby warming the earth again. Mystery solved.
But did they find any of Algore’s ancestors in the ice?
But how does all this involve the Koch brothers?
I remain skeptical.
I would think the joining of north and south America would be so slow that it wouldn’t cause a major disruption.
mmm...
Seems like the study is trying to link major climate change to relatively small environmental changes; you know, like humans can cause global warming, er, *climate disruption*.
Global warming cause the ice age.
The key word is THEORY. Anything to deny the Scriptures and confuse the skulls full of mush sitting in their classes.....Oh yes, and don’t forget tbe grant $$$$ they hope to garner with this racy, agnostic pipedream.
It reminds me of a wry saying I used to hear in the business world when someone was attempting to sell a bill of goods: “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull $h!t.”
Since this new theory comes from a Brit university like unto the one that originated the fraudulent ‘Hockey Stick” weather graph, I think I must file it in the BS folder.
fyi
I thought that this was covered in that film documentary that came out a couple of years ago.
The day after Tuesday or something like that...
Does that explain Bill Nye’s saying that there were other ice ages, too? What caused them? Used to watch him with my kid, with discussion.
Milankovich Cycles.
This is not an entirely new idea. The rise of the Himalayas combined with the monsoon dropping acid rain on the mountains has been seen as a cause of the extremely low CO2 levels and further combined with the change in currents brought about by central America’s change in current patterns has been thought responsible for the recent ice ages.
I agree. I think that the only effect that the joining had was that WHEN the salinity in the oceans changed, it tended to stay that way because they could no longer mix.
Something else caused the changed in salinity, imho.
That's nothing. The entire face of the Earth has been burnt free of all ice and life at least six times.
The impact itself wasn’t the issue.
Before it happened, North and South America were two isolated islands, so there was marine current flow between them.
Once they joined, that current was cut off - and that’s what these scientists say started the Ice Ages.
I understand that but they didn’t join instantaneously. It took a long time for them to join meaning the flow between the oceans would have been slowly choked off.
