Someone needs to give the BBC a North Atlantic temperature map.

The argument of nincompoops usually involves some claim that Israel “stole” land or “annexed” Palestine. Palestine was never a nation. That’s the point. There was never a single government associated with the sole governance of “Palestine.”

I do admit, it gets a little more complicated when folks understand the boarder changes associated with war in the region over the years. It is also complicated by the governance agreements that Israel has conceded in the past. Israel has certainly taken land after wars in which they were attacked. But so did Russia after WWII and many other countries. And this is what many of them hang their hat on in the intellectual argument about Israel.

It’s true. We’re all living in the Age of Megan.

I am your Queen.

Bow before me and then would someone please do my laundry?

Thanks!

Megan

Were they the ‘sea people’ who it was said raided, terrorozed and displaced other populations all through the E Mediterranean?

Already the decision to discriminate ages within the Holocene has drawn fire from some scientists who believe the move is premature. They question whether some of the climate shifts used as anchors for the new ages were truly global in their impact.

I don't think it is premature, as it adds to precision when dating things.

The Holocene began, what 12,000 years ago?

At least back then when the Holocene began there certainly has been climate change, and subsequently even profound climate change in certain areas, since then.

Note: I do believe in Climate Change, as in, the climate changes, especially over long periods of time, that is, longer than a human being's lifetime. What I reject is Anthropomorphic Global Warming (AGW).

Climate changes happens naturally, and no proof exists that mankind's activities are causing rising temperatures.

The Left has co-opted "Climate Change" (when they really mean AGW) to further confuse people and claim that those not agreeing with them are anti-science.

Whenever a Leftists uses the term climate change, I ask them, "Don't you mean AGW?"

They say, no, or "what's that?"

I reply, "The climate could get real colder, so climate change covers that, too. So don't you really mean global warming caused by human activity?"

"Yes," they say.

Then I say, "So why aren't you using the right words to describe what you think is the problem? Climate change doesn't mean what you're trying to say."

"[The] Holocene Epoch...reflects everything that has happened over the past 11,700 years - since a dramatic warming kicked us out of the last ice age. "

7.5 billion humans presently living on Earth in the Holocene say:

Thank you, Global Warming!

Did they not also go into the Med and invade Cyrus, Greece, and southern Italy?

Maybe I’m thinking of another group...

We currently live in what is called the Holocene Epoch, which reflects everything that has happened over the past 11,700 years - since a dramatic warming kicked us out of the last ice age. But the Holocene itself can be subdivided, according to the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS).

A dramatic warming kicked us out of the last ice age?

Tell me more.

No, the Ottoman Turks appear in the 1300’s AD.

My point was that you seemed to be choking on the mention of Palestine but not on the mention of Mesopotamia.

No-It’s the same people that I’m thinking of.... They got around and were very prolific throughout the Med.
A lot of distinct Med. cultures can claim cultural/genetic traits back to that group.

It was very far in the distant past but since they were such wide ranging, nomadic, sea faring people, there is not a lot of hard archaeological data about them.

Besides, isn’t Palestine the area being treated as a nation by the Muslims, the leftists and the United Nations everyday today????

I don’t recall hearing Mesopotamia being mentioned anymore...
