Yedomas show one ice age
by Michael J. Oard
Just recently, another indicator of just one ice age has emerged. Yedomas are a special type of permafrost that contain a large amount of organic matter (about 2% carbon by mass) and from 50 to 80% ice by volume.17 The ice is in the form of large ice wedges and ice layers and lenses. Permafrost covers 23 million km2, or 24%, of land in the Northern Hemisphere. Yedomas cover substantially less1,387,000 km2 in north-east Siberia, Alaska, and Yukon Territory of north-west Canada.18 They are often tens of metres thick with a maximum of about 50 m. Permafrost was 52% greater at the peak of the Ice Age than today,17 having expanded south of the boundaries of the ice sheets and subsequently melted back toward higher latitude.

"If the present is the key to the past, many of the 50 other earlier ice ages would surely have also left yedoma deposits, yet these supposed yedoma deposits do not exist. The straightforward interpretation of the observations is that there was only one ice age."

Of course geological subduction plays no part ...
There are dozens of creation myths. Creationism is just the popular one at the moment. And even that is waning.
I guess the only thing left to do is believe everything Bill Nye and NdG Tyson tell you....
I guess I look at it as, what does it matter?

IS THIS evidence that when the Sun activity warms up the earth that melting ice releases CO2 into the atmosphere ?
Some real scientists think that CO2 follows temperature and not the other way around.
