Because their snow mobiles were gas guzzlers AND the dogs farted a lot.

Whoa...that’s it. We’re doomed!!!

Ice core shows Antarctic Peninsula warming is nothing unusual--Press release flatly contradicts

How much is that 11,000 year old thermometer selling for? It ought to be a collector’s item.

Slap the editor that wrote the headline up side the head.

What a joke! Just effect me not with any of your policies. I have 200 incandescent light bulbs in storage. I suffer nothing from you idiots.I drill water restrictors out of my three shower heads. I have well water in 72 feet of ocean under my vast property and I pump it endlessly into my fishing lakes and grass.( because I own it!!). I use freon!!!

Hot, cold; who gives a flying crap anymore?

WTF? Why go off at me?

What we see in the ice core temperature record is that the Antarctic Peninsula warmed by about 6°C as it emerged from the last ice age. By 11,000 years ago the temperature had risen to about 1.3°C warmer than today’s average and other research indicates that the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet was shrinking at this time and some of the surrounding ice shelves retreated.

I seriously question how the temperature 11,000 years or more ago can be estimated to within a tenth of a degree.

Dog farts might account for the .3 degree C, but I think Mammoth farts accounted for the 1.0 degree C.

Thanks for the ping.

I would submit that Al Gore would rather have members of the press do the scientific work on these climate phenomena. :)

Hey Ernest,

Thanks for the posts. I have been working a lot. Just enough time to keep up the home front.

Having studied this, more scientists are leaning to a period around 16,000 years ago as the first initial warming and glacier melt from the last ice age.

Ironically, the polar ice cap began on the continents millions of years ago as the Tectonic plates began to move or an area where they were all joined was one of the polar ice caps. India, Brazil and such were all part of this initical glacier action millions of years ago with all the plates were joined at the hip.

So where are we now, for the last 2,000 years the earth has overall cooled a few degrees based on tree-ring research. Right now, other than for the drought, we are in a warm period that is coming to an end and the cooling period will be over around 2035 before we warm up again.

I said that to say this, stock up on canned food and wood.
