Uh oh, I didn’t see the copyright. How much do I owe you?
No doubt Gore-Magnon man was to blame here...after all, Gore-Magnon's tried to alter their living conditions, but still increased their fire output by 10% just before this happened....
History repeats itself...just very, very slowly in this case...
My conclusion, exactly.
I use old Bud Lite bottle caps and a rubber band to chart climate change.
Science be damned. Whatever the data, it will be interpreted to prove that mankind is ruining the earth and must be brought to heel. Strict controls must be brought to bear. Perhaps birth control chemicals in the water and early euthanasia for folks over sixty who get sick. Mother earth must be protected at all costs from the viral infection of mankind.
Partial sun cross there.
Something else that might cause a rapid climate change in Greenland 10,000 years ago might be a pole shift. We’re overdue now for another.
Gore-Magnon man, good one.
The Younger dryas period about 9 to 10 thousand years ago, has been speculated to have been cause when some of the ice dams broke and cold water rushed to the North Atlantic creating the St. Lawrence. All of this cold water prevented the Gulf Stream from completing its warm course to Europe. It took a thousand years to resolve the situation.
Therefore the solution to global warming is to build a sea wall from North Carolina to divert the Gulf Stream. New York would have polar bears and Europe could ski year round.
Keep drilling deeper, until we hear “Largest oil and mineral reserves in history found underneath Greenland’s ice cap.”
Did somebody repossess Fred Flintstone’s dinosaur car?
So now we know how Algore uses so much power——to keep the Greenland ice cores frozen. Wouldn’t these guy’s conclusions require knowing that Greenland froze every year for a couple bazillion years? What if it warmed up for, oh, say, a couple thousand years every now and then and a couple feet of “evidence” slid into the ocean? I’m a little suspicious these ice-hole-drillers are “proving” more than they have evidence for?
beat me to it LOL. My thoughts exactly.
1) 14,000 years ago, or even 11,000 years ago - man was not contributing to global warming gases (if you consider the 0.28% that we DO contribute as a real factor - I don't).
2) We are in a WARM period RIGHT NOW. A relatively long warm period (thank goodness for civilization). We ARE coming to a turn in the road if the past cycles hold true. And based on the past information, it would be a turn downwards (in temperature). We're going to be caught with our pants down trying to stop global warming, when instead we should be preparing for all types of climate change. (Hot, cold, wet, dry, ....) Of course the best way to rapidly adapt to that is the old fashioned entrepreneurial way - not some plodding government program.
Just so. The politicization of science in America is the greatest tragedy I've observed in my lifetime.
Hope it takes its time, a rapid pole shift would be ...bad. There is evidence to support pole shift concept.
“I use old Bud Lite bottle caps and a rubber band to chart climate change”
YOU are officially my new “sarcasm hero”, just for that statement alone.

“This story is not true. We have been told now by the doom and gloomers that mankind causes climate change. They want us to believe there is some magical perfect “climate” that would exist if not for mankind. Without mankind, the world must have been perfection and climatically precise. Whatever could these authors be thinking?”
Hang on a minute. Just because the climate changed in the past without humans being the cause does not mean humans can not cause climate change now or in the future.
