Another non-problem problem the experts want us to take drastic action over.

Sky is falling too. Heard a boy crying about a wolf this morning too.

Maybe the solution to all this is to appease the gods of the universe and sacrifice all the experts to them. Sure would be a lot quieter place.

Exactly. Also higher CO2 and O2 concentrations back then.

This is silliness. If anything, warmer climate, better and more abundant food will make creatures bigger.

And for that reason, paleoclimatologists traditionally call such periods of warmth optimums.

The earliest-known horse, Sifrhippus, first appeared in North America during the 175,000-year Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, when increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans caused average global temperatures to rise 10 to 20 degrees.

Which came first, the higher temperatures or the higher CO2?

Thanks BlackVeil. This is the easiest diet I've ever heard of.

That just shows that the earliest known horse-sh!* wasn't the last.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Okay..... then why are Eskimos so short?

“Horses started out small, about the size of a small dog like a miniature schnauzer,” Cheaper to feed, easier for short people to ride.

That, also, is because of global warming. Everything is because of global warming.

Get with the programme, Gator.
