Ping. When did the huge fresh water lakes in North America collapse?

[BenLurkin]

Scientists have located the cause:

Accoring to Bill Bryson per his book A Short History of Nearly Everything, the planet is in a long term ice age. The ice age is punctuated by periodic warming periods that last around 8,000 years each or so. We are in a periodic warming period, that has been around for about 10,000 years or so, precisely the period when civilization emerged, and it is overdue to end. When it ends, it will snow a lot in Fairhope, and the ice will be back in Iowa, a thousand feet thick, and almost cliff like where it ends. Thus, Al Gore is worried about planetary temperatures perhaps rightly, but perhaps also in the wrong direction.

And there you have it.

PS: By the way, the planet had a billion years where there was no ice on the planet, anywhere, and then another billion years thereafter where it was all ice, 100% ice. The thinking is that the billion year cold snap ended when some massive volcanic eruptions happened, recreating an atmosphere, and jump starting the greenhouse effect. Ain't that interesting?

If there is ANY benefit to the absurd Global Warming scare, it will be that archaeologists have been forced to examine their dearest, closest held absurd beliefs. While there is currently no evidence for "Global Warming" the evidence is mounting that catastrophism had much to do with the ebb and flow of history.

Perhaps, when this is over, uniformitarianism will be blessedly dead and we can start understanding exactly what our ancestors experienced and the forces that molded them.

Fill me in would you please, 65 million years ago the earth was warm and TRex was walking around, when did the ice age or ice ages begin? How long did they last and are we still in one. Thanks. I'll google while waiting to here from you.

Archaeologists have found evidence for a mass migration from the more temperate northern Mesopotamia to the arid southern region around 6400 B.C.

I wander if thousands of years from now scientists will attribute the mass migration of Mexicans, north to the USA, to climatic changes?
