the area qualifies as what scientists call a Lagerstätte, which in German means storage space. I'd have thought it was slang for "watering hole" ....

Wow, things got bad fairly quickly. Human civilization was at the level of stone age technology. There was barely 100 million humans on the entire planet. Fossil tuel was yet to be discovered and yet climate change was killing off the dodo birds.
I am absolutely flummoxed as to how the primitive human technology of the time could be causing global warming.

poisonous fecal cocktail
Not exactly sure why, but somehow that phrase reminds me of Michael Moore...

Thanks Utilizer, left that other site, and GeronL. It's a nice double-list ping topic, and though I'm a little late getting around it, my chief weapon is surprise. That's all. Just surprise.

This drought corresponds to the droughts that brought down the old kingdom of egypt around 2100 bc

[snip] It had been thought that the deserts in northern China are one million years old, but a new study of the Hunshandake Sandy Lands of Inner Mongolia suggests that its desert is only 4,000 years old. [/snip]

Apparently a lot of them died because of that crisis 4200 years ago, but enough lived so man could have the final pleasure of killing them to extinction. I wonder if that boloid strike crater in the Iraq Marshes that is about 4,000 years old had anything to do with it. A number of middle east civilizations had serious problems at that time or were replaced by other groups. Egypt, Assyrians, Hittites, etc.

Similar towards where San Francisco is heading.
However they are much more likely to end up with a Sodom and Gomorrah finale than a Tsunami washout.
