"It is vital that we look into Earth’s geological past to understand rare but high impact events, such as the collapse of giant ice sheets that occurred 14,600 years ago," said Dr Alex Thomas of Oxford University’s Department of Earth Sciences, an author of the paper. "Our work gives a window onto an extreme event in which deglaciation coincided with a dramatic and rapid rise in global sea levels – an ancient ‘mega flood’. Sea level rose more than ten times more quickly than it is rising now! This is an excellent test bed for climate models: if they can reproduce this extraordinary event, it will improve confidence that they can also predict future change accurately."

The real reason for this 'research'? To get you to believe in a computer-model that 'predicts' global-warming. Obviates the need to support their contentions with real evidence. Computer-models are the old physics 'thought experiements' applied to new 'scientific' imaginations. GIGO

GIGO is right!

Some scientists become so enamored of their favorite scientific positions, they cannot accept evidence, no matter how cogent, that their cherished ‘belief’ isn’t true.
