I told the Pharaohs to quit driving their Hummers.
President Bush’s fault!
"Now, today, man is probably causing the same thing," he said.
AAAAH, so the Pharaohs were empowered by Climate Change. They were like the Halliburton of their day!!! ;-)
Camel flatulence?
” Once Lush Sahara Dried Up Over Millennia, Study Says...”
I thought this was a story of a gal who gave up the bottle and became sober. =)
“because if climate computer models don’t work for the past, they probably won’t work for the future.”
You mean climate is affected by things other than human activity? What a novel concept!
I remember a show on TV about ancient Carthage. They stated that the area around Carthage 2000 years ago got quite a bit more rain than it does now. It was a prime agricultural area and that is one reason, along with trade, that Carthage was so rich and powerful.
A phrase worth repeating.
If Gore really believed in Global Warming, he’d buy the Sahara and wait. I mean how much could it cost?
Damn turbocharged camels!
(many know the joke, but I’ll bet nobody has pictures!)

You don’t need a TV to see evidence of this - it’s in any Bible. Even a rabid atheist would have to agree that The Bible is a useful historical record. Hard to believe that Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, etc were described as fairly lush places in Biblical times.
It was those Jews driving their low Parsa’ot per Kav guzzlers that caused the warming that caused everything to dry up. This was clearly described by Al-Gor in some recently found writings. /s

Evolution in Your FaceLake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, is home to more than 300 species of cichlids. These fish, which are popular in aquariums, are deep-bodied and have one nostril, rather than the usual two, on each side of the head. Seismic profiles and cores of the lake taken by a team headed by Thomas C. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, reveal that the lake dried up completely about 12,400 years ago. This means that the rate of speciation of cichlid fishes has been extremely rapid: something on average of one new species every 40 years!
