3200 BC is usually marked as the start of the bronze age.
So, clearly, the climatic changes were man made.
You want to look at some hard data, Stanford has some on line here:

Do all sarcastic remarks have to contain sarcastic tags?
Lighten up!!!!
Kinda reminds me of this data and model...
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Genesis 7:11
Something drastic happened then that changed the lifespans drastically and suddenly from Noah's 600+ years, down to Abraham's 120, or so. Something must have changed in the "firmament," also known as the "heavens" in those days... The timing would have been about 5200 years ago, as well!!!
We will survive this one too.

Good catch!!!
Oh brother! I hadn't quite gotten to your #19 when I posted my number 25!! Great minds run in the same groove!!!
Yes. I think links to certain informational pages should be put on the front page or accessed somehow. Not my call though.
Yep, Seems their iceman is about the same age as Noah. I'm not sure about the time line though, because I don't know exactly how many years from Noah to Christ.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

If the Black Sea flood was Noah's, it was in 5,600BC.
As for those events having been caused by the onset of the Bronze Age (per your post #21), what could be clearer?
Nature, good; humans, bad. Bad humans...bad, bad humans!
If you could suggest a mechanism whereby some sort of climate catastrophe caused human lifespans to shrink (virtually overnight, in geological terms) from 600+ years to 70+ years, I'd be interested in hearing it.
We will survive this one too.
That's what I'd bet on (said just before glancing up and noticing a fireball expanding to fill the entire sky from horizon to horiz
Seems this guy collected data from many different places that had the same results. Also, his time date is about the time that history pertaining to man started. All of this fits into a time frame of 500 years or so. He could be right.
The question is how quick did it take to get cold and how long did it take to get warm and of course which is the norm. The cold or the warm.
When North America was settled by the Europeans we had horrible Winters. It would snow waist deep in Virginia and so on. Prior to that, the Vikings could plant crops in places like Greenland. It is clear there can be drastic climate changes but the question is what brings them on. Meteors strikes would be my best guess. What we do to the climate with man induced events are like trying to bail the ocean out with a bucket.
I don't personally think we can prevent something like this from happening except maybe locally in a city or something. What we have to do is make plans to survive something like this and carry on with our lives.
I look forward to emigrating to Antarctica, and developing a ranch/farm complex. Maybe use glacial melt water to irrigate it, and on the side, sell bottled "pure glacier water" to the poor, deluded eviro-schmucks who stayed in the Pacific Northwest Desert, protecting the dead snags of the former rainforest from "exploitation".
If what happened 5200 years ago also happened 5200 years before that, I would take the pattern to heart. At present we have speculation.
missed you on the GGG ping.
Simple, earth lost its warp drive. The earth, due to the flood, couldn't get dilithiium crystals which had us zippin around the sun in about two months or so?
