The "Little Ice Age," however it came to be, also explains why most Americans drink beer, instead of wine, as their great-great-great-great... grandparents did.

Scientifically illiterate. CO2 conc. FOLLOWS temperature changes. Doesn’t drive them.

This is not science. What has happened to our country?

Is there any evil that can’t be traced back to white men?

What kind of rag publishes this Marxist twaddle ??

[headstamp 2]

What a pantload.

[mtg]

These scientists need to stop eating pizza just before going to bed. Nightmares tend to stay with a person for a while.

[donhunt]

Oh... I thought it was the plot to a science fiction book.

[Da Coyote]

The “science” in that article was so abysmal that the author(s) qualify for a primary position on the Obamaloon Clown Show of Cretin/Felons.

Gads, would I have loved to had them in a good numerical analysis course - so they could receive their well deserved Fs and then proceed to get a marshmallow major and become congresscritters. If they got Ds in those worthless majors, they could also become vice-president.

“The European conquest of the Americas decimated the people living there,”

Exactly what “decimation” occurred? A few thousand Indians? Did the Indians have corporate farms stretching across the entire country? Did virtually every new arrival from Europe not farm the land after clearing large tracts for said purpose?

The logic of this hypothesis is ridiculous.

I am awed. Who know Columbus was so powerful! Wow!

[Osamabindead]

Little known fact: Columbus never set foot in America. He made it to Haiti and the Bahamas and that’s it. John Cabot was an Italian explorer who landed in what is now known as North America with a commission on behalf of England. We, at the time not wanting to give Britain credit for anything, decided to rally around the Spaniard, Columbus. The only reason it’s not Washington DC (District of Caboto, rather than Columbia) is simply, petty spite. Columbus went on to commit a genocide on the Native Americans that would’ve made Hitler blush.

I wasn't aware that Columbus cut down any trees let alone that many. The Pilgrims found cleared land that was form a plague that killed the natives in the are where they settled so they are not the ones that cut all the forests down. The land was not completely cleared in the 1800’s for the farmers in the Midwest. There are more trees in the Rockies than there were when Columbus came over. How can a “scientist” get so many things wrong?

[Thane_Banquo]

The European conquest of the Americas decimated the people living there, leaving large areas of cleared land untended. Trees that filled in this territory pulled billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,

Yeah, except few Native Americans had agriculture and most were hunter-gatherers.

[penelopesire]

So..when do reparations to Europe begin? /sarcasm

“Tying together many different lines of evidence......”

The flight patterns of birds, entrails of sheep, tossing pieces of bone. It all comes together in “CO2 (is bad) Theory”.

[OpusatFR]

You mean the Cahokian cultural demise which included vast swaths of denuded, untended, abandoned agricultural land wasn’t a problem, but a bunch of colonists were?

Oh yes, those evil whites!
