Neanderthals had SUVs?

[rightwingcrazy]

There was no American middle class to spew noxious carbon out into the atmosphere. How could there be climate change?

[Yaelle]

Electric horses?

So simple, a caveman can do it.

Historically people have been able to adjust to changes in their environment. There were significant migrations happening about every 600 years way back when. People and animals are capable of changing their ways, often nimbly, moving, planting different crops, building different homes.

What doesn’t adjust well or nimbly are governments. They are based on the status quo and will fight anything that threatens its hegemony and tradition. So governments endanger their population by their unwillingness to adjust and work with nature instead of against it. Right now governments are trying to be the Little Dutch Boy at the dike, holding back the sea. It won’t end well for governments or those who trust them.

This is how we adjusted.

How they adapted to “climate change”????

I don’t see any neanderthals walking around any more.

Unfortunately, researchers are forever limited to examining the poorest Neanderthals, forced by circumstances to live in caves; their wondrous ice cities are melted and gone forever.

What Uthmeier refers to as 'adverse natural conditions' are climate changes after the end of the last interglacial more than 100,000 years ago. Particularly severe cold phases during the following Weichsel glacial period began more than 60,000 years ago and led to a shortage of natural resources. In order to survive, the Neanderthals had to become more mobile than before, and adjust their tools accordingly.

I'm not accusing Uthmeier of doing this, but many of his ilk will say reasonable things like this, change the slide and proclaim that today's climate change is the greatest threat to humanity as if it has never been encountered throughout the history of man.

How Neanderthals adjusted to climate change

They moved...............

[Wuli]

You mean even ancient humans could adjust to climate change?!?!.

How can that be!?!?; when modern humans, even with all their massive knowledge and technology, are certain climate change will kill the whole world and humanity?????!!!!! /sarc

[Wuli]

Notice what the human mind did, even with the limited knowledge it had at the time - they adjusted their tools to fit new conditions the climate presented.

And today’s human tool chest, by comparison??? MASSIVE.

The biggest evidence about LIFE on this planet is it is designed, inherently, to adapt. LIFE that any “climate change” could kill - destroying all LIFE - could not have expanded to every extreme of climate on the planet.
