“ The Earth’s climate changes constantly.”
I think the goats are to blame, they eat everything green.

[airborne]

Global cooling Uhhh...no...

Global warming Uhhh...no...

Global climate change.

I wonder what they'll pull out of their butts next.

[linMcHlp]

More climate change thing. Loss of trees and top soils, exposes sand, clays, and other wind-vulnerables . . . that are moved around <— sometimes to great distances.

Happened to the tip of Cape Code, effectively forcing the Pilgrims community from there, to the mainland.

Now, progressives object to climate change.

Natural gas stoves in the caves probably.

[Doctor Congo]

If the lake was 1100 sq kms then it would be about 6 and a half times bigger than the Sea of Galilee.

I would like to know what kind of fish was in the lake, the Sea of Galilee has Tilapia.
(I keep comparing to the Sea of G because it is the biggest lake in the area I know of)

[Red Badger]

Unknown unless they find fossils................

[srmanuel]

It’s not just Earth, it’s nearly every scientific area of study, think of how much has been learned from the James Webb Space Telescope...the idea of a “Big Bang” happening and starting the formation of galaxies by the billions appears to be more of a SWAG instead of well-founded scientific hypothesis.

Medical technology is another area where what we know to be true is seemingly always changing.

[GingisK]

We know so little, really.

[AZJeep]

Is my math wrong?
______

Yes,
1100 sq meters is 0.11 square km. That’s about 28 acres.
A sizable pond.
They probably meant 1100 sq km.

[faithhopecharity]

same with the Sahara desert

[BipolarBob]

So Shakespeare was almost right.
First, kill all the lawyers and the goats.

[Pilsner]

That should be 1100 Square Kilometers.

Yeah. 1,100 square meters is a square a bit bigger than 33 meters per side.

It’s said that it took ten to twelve thousand years to from humans being hunter gathers to walking on the moon.
Modern day humans have been on this planet For at least 250,000 years. That is enough time for at least twenty civilizations to develop.🤔
