I couldn't right-click on the AGU website.

Big impact ping.

Big.

[JennysCool]

Another goofy effort to “hide the decline” in public opinion on “global warming.”

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[battousai]

Well I say it seems we have moved on from ‘blame Bush’ to just blame humanity, so we should all just die. I propose the watermelons show us how to do it though and we can follow after they are all gone... wink wink nudge nudge.

[Tzimisce]

Boy humans just suck in general don’t we?

Humans can’t get anything right.

[Dallas59]

The Fault of the Ancestors of BUSH!

[attiladhun2]

Consuming roasted (and raw) portions of mega fauna produced mega flatulence.

Mankind is also responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs

[a fool in paradise]

Mammoths used to roam modern-day Russia and North America, but are now extinct--and there's evidence that around 15,000 years ago, early hunters had a hand in wiping them out.

So man killing the mammoths CAUSED globalist warming?

I thought that mammal farts, like cows, are CAUSING globalist warming fears.

Shouldn't fewer mammoths mean a cooler planet?

[beethovenfan]

The BS meter is pegged far right.

[GraceG]

Kill the Humans, and their Culture.....

It is the only way....

[tacticalogic]

Did they find a cave drawing of a “hockey stick” graph?

[BitWielder1]

One would think that the effects of the sun, earths orbit, volcanoes, oceans plus all other animals, insects and plants would have a bigger impact on the planet than the handful of humans who lived 15k years ago.
Remember, all insects in the world out-weigh all the humans, even today.
All campfires put together probably can't match one regular forest fire.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This uses the same logic that if all the Chinese in the world got up on chairs and jumped off at the same moment, it would knock the Earth out of orbit.

By comparison, the mass of the Earth is 6.6 sextillion tons. That is,

6,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

The mass of all humanity, not just the Chinese, on Earth put together is about 500 million tons. That is,

500,000,000 tons.

[centurion316]

The theory for human causation for mega fauna extinctions has been around for more than 40 years. Once very popular, it has not fared very well of late. This little variant is very creative, not only did humans cause mega fauna extinction, but that begat global warming. Throw that one into your grant request and see if you are a winner!

I tend to hang on to an old fashioned idea that the Earth has been warming naturally since the ending of the last glaciation and that humans played a very small role, perhaps measurable, perhaps not.

[kitkat]

Then how do the scientists explain the ice age?

Oh, wait, they discovered a dinosaur egg, hatched it and mated it to another hatched egg, and the dinosaurs came back to cool the world.

[popdonnelly]

This is utterly ridiculous. The human population of the World at that time was tiny, and their “carbon footprint” couldn’t have been any bigger than the mammoths’.

[SteamShovel]

Even before the dawn of agriculture, people may have caused the planet to warm up, a new study suggests.

BS!

Even if this were true, it would demonstrate why attempting to stop alleged AGW would not work.....

.....the puny amount of human activity then compared to now allegedly still caused large warming.

In that case, no changes now could possibly make our climate effect less than then. It would be hopeless.

Logic says forget about it and go on with our business as usual.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks decimon. As I think I predicted in at least one FR thread, the globaloney warming BS would make the impact extinction scenario a prime target. This wouldn't happen if we abolished gov't and just chopped the heads off everyone who disagreed, but I'd have to spend about a year with a personal trainer before that transition, so... Mammoths used to roam modern-day Russia and North America, but are now extinct--and there's evidence that around 15,000 years ago, early hunters had a hand in wiping them out.
