How the great flood cooled the earth....
Water from the flood came from ice...
Article sounds like CNN wrote it...
Ping!
How on earth was that possible since SUV's were not invented yet?
Didn’t Fred Flintstone have an SUV? Or was that Mr. Slate?
I think it was char broiling those huge brontosaurus steaks...
Or it might have been this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDamNtQpu2w
Wooley mammoth farts.
When you cross it west to east, the change when you cross the ridge line that was the old lake shore is amazing. After miles and miles and miles of utterly flat terrain other then various creeks and rivers that dip below the flat surface, you claim this long ridge and the geology is just totally different.
Interesting to note, the Red River valley which lies just inside the Glacier Lake Agassiz shore line is some of the most fertile, deepest black soil farm land on earth.
All BS. The earth is only 6,000 years old.
And while all of this was happening thousands of years ago, an ancestor of Al Gore (named Al Grooora) was out telling everyone that if they did not break all their spears and bury their cooking oil that the earth was going to be jugded by the moon gods and fire would reign down on them. In spite of the cooling effect, Al Grooora was awarded the Neandrathal peace prize. He continued to spread his word whie riding on a massive chariot (whose 8 horses, BTW, pooped so much that entire villages had to be evacuated). 15 years later, after the earth had already dropped in temperature by 7 degrees the natives tried to find Al Grooora , but he fled to the equator, where he continued to preach his message on his fantastic 8 horse chariot. The end. (Now you know more about prhistoric history than all the PhDs in the world - combined).
Something I can’t get my head around is why they think the climate on the edge of the ice sheet - - especially when they talk about Eurasia - - was so dry. What the heck happened in the summer? The ice sheet would have melted some at the edges and refroze in the winter. And to get a layer of ice two miles thick, it would have had to snow....
A LOT.
The are lots of cold climates in the world today that are very dry.
Reasonably close to the right time for the Great Flood? Also about the right time for the English Channel to have been made?
LOL!
What I posted was pure guess but maybe the English channel too.
