GGG Ping.
Bush's fault.
damn bush/rove time machine!
I'm guessing "China View" is not a MSM rag.
What effect would a worldwide Noahs Flood have on the trees? or the co2? I'm betting plenty.
So they're saying that humans back then started the greenhouse effect? Right.
bump
Well they didn't use solar energy to cook those bronto burgers!
LOL! What it really shows is that climate change is a natural phenomenon and was not triggered by human activity. But they don't dare state such a conclusion.
"about 5,000 years ago"
5000 years or so... let me check my calendar to see if there were any other climatic events claimed around then...
...oh, nevermind.
The total human population in 5000 BC is estimated at 5 million. I wonder if prehistoric man put out lightning induced forest fires? Was volcanic activity was more or less than it is today?
The amount of co2 produced by human fires back then could hardly have caused a greenhouse effect.
If only the US had implemented the Kyoto Protocol, none of this would have ever happened! Oh wait ... 5000 years ago ... nevermind.
Duh!
large quantities of relics of ancient housing facilities indicate that people of that time lumbered much to build houses,"
Duh!
The team also deduced that prehistoric human beings used plantsfor other purposes, such as curing diseases, making furniture or tools and feeding animals,
Duh!
It must have had something to do with their outrageous demand for petroleum or those prehistoric SUVs.
Oh, wait...
Considering that one(1) volcano equals about a trillion camp fires I would tend to agree.
It is??
"Prehistoric human beings probably burned wood in cooking, lighting, molding pottery and even bronze smelting, while large quantities of relics of ancient housing facilities indicate that people of that time lumbered much to build houses," said Kuan Fengshi, head of the Archaeological Research Center of the Shandong University and a member of the excavation group.
Anyone with a lick of sense knows that one decent unfought forest fire, complete with an active volcano or two, would outdo a continent's worth of people's campfires. Environmentalism is a religion, it often makes no logical sense, and it's adherent's don't care if it doesn't.
75,000 years ago it was 2,000-10,000.
"Was volcanic activity was more or less than it is today?"
More, due to the continuing weight redistribution of the ice from the Ice Age. Same with tsunamis and earthquakes.
