and Global Warming in the past. It's nothing new
..................................................................................................................................................................................
Humans have been around for a while. We've survived the coming and the going of the ice..the great ice..the Ice that covered whole continents...twice.
Lookit what we have achieved in the last five hundred years.
It's laughable to say that in the last five hundred THOUSAND years this is the pentacle of our achievement.
Problem is..we keep getting smashed flat by ice ages and flood.
- On a ho-hum day some 12,800 years ago, the Earth had emerged from another ice age. Things were warming up, and the glaciers had retreated.
.
Out of nowhere, the sky was lit with fireballs. This was followed by shock waves.
.
Fires rushed across the landscape, and dust clogged the sky, cutting off the sunlight. As the climate rapidly cooled, plants died, food sources were snuffed out, and the glaciers advanced again. Ocean currents shifted, setting the climate into a colder, almost “ice age” state that lasted an additional thousand years.
.
Finally, the climate began to warm again, and people again emerged into a world with fewer large animals and a human culture in North America that left behind completely different kinds of spear points.

At the end of the last ice age the sea level was four hundred feet lower than it is now. Humans live on the seacoast now...they did then too. It's reasonable to suspect that whole CITIES lie submerged at the edge of the continental shelf..what there is left of them. The titanic sank a hundred years ago and it's mostly rust now. In a hundred years there will be no remains. After fifteen thousand years under the sea...what would remain?
