How the great flood cooled the earth....
Water from the flood came from ice...
Article sounds like CNN wrote it...
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).
At least we got Lake Huron to show for it.
Not that I go there much...
The author has it completely wrong. When a glacier recedes, it simply melts. It does all the gouging when it advances.
But, you see, THIS event is (mis)used now to explain “how” the coming global warming will destroy the Gulf Stream and cause another global catastrophe ... Thus requiring socialistic controls over everybody's’s power and energy.
But, what the AGW extremists (conveniently) ignore is that - today - there is NO ice mass this big across Canada - therefore, there can be NO mass melting and NO interruption of the Gulf Stream.
History CANNOT repeat itself (this time!) because the precursors are completely absent! Yet, this time, because it IS convenient for the AGW extremists to -re-use history, they DO WANT to repeat this scenario.
(Note also that there is written history of a massive flood about this frame in the MidEast and around the world
And the ice defrosted because of all the SUVs running around the planet.
