Ancient Earth was hit by extreme 'hothouse' periods of intense dryness, followed by massive rainstorms, a new study reveals.

These rainstorms were hundreds of miles wide and could dump more than a foot of rain in a matter of hours, Harvard University scientists report....

... for multiple periods in Earth's history, our planet experienced hothouse' periods' that were around 20°F to 30°F hotter than it is today.

Earth likely experienced these periods multiple times in its distant past and will experience them again hundreds of millions of years from now as the sun continues to brighten, say they team, who based their results on computer simulations....

wait...the cat is out of the bag - global warming was caused by


the SUN brightening!

Sounds like a description of something I’ve read somewhere before, hmmm, let me think.

So … a mid summer Texas thunderstorm?

[Steven Tyler]

I dare them to predict the weather next Tuesday

[Larry Lucido]

Greta tried to warn us.

[Allegra]

LOL - sounds about right.

The current interglacial period we have been enjoying has been one of the longest most stable periods for earth’s climate.
It will change and there is nothing we can do about it.

The next Ice Age IS coming, we just don’t know when.

Is it ok to laugh or criticize such nonsense? Stll guessing.

-Hundreds of miles wide-

Like a cold front in Texas?

That is how we get our rain.

Old W.Texas joke:

*How much rain do you get here?

**About 24 inches.

*That's not too bad.

**You should have been here that day.

Billions of years ago did they know they only had ten years before it was too late.

Ancient Earth, hit by huge rain storms?

Following liberal logic, it must have been caused by ancient people driving huge vehicles powered by fossil fuels.

“ Billions of years ago did they know they only had ten years before it was too late.”

You win the internet.

Where have we heard this before? Oh yeah, Genesis 7- 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

[Veto!]

For goodness sake. Who knew that the climate changes?

Always has. Always will.

[Karliner]

but no one can find Hillary’s 35,000 emails.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Yep.

They clouded up ordinary weather into stupid claims !

Old W.Texas joke:

I experienced a few of those Texas thunderstorms, when I was in Del Rio, but I never saw Haitians come across the river like they do now. 😀

[Thrownatbirth]

The Egyptians and Amorites did see some nasty hailstorms.

[Deaf Smith]

First time I drove into the Dry Devils River valley, I asked about the house sized boulders in the river bed.

Thousand Year Flood?

*Last week.

More computer models...aka prophecies....aka science fiction...
