GGG Ping.

and just exactly who was doing the measuring 30,000 years ago?? oh wait... the world was flat a few hundred years ago so maybe they’re just GUESSING!

Thanks Blam.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest

Now, all they need to do is to find the farthest extent to which they receded. The cycle would then be better understood.

[Fido969]

So “Global Warming” started 20,000 years ago.

The cycle would then be better understood.

It wouldn't matter now. The debate is already over. The Profit Al Gore said so. :)

"So “Global Warming” started 20,000 years ago."

More or less. With a 1,000 year cooling period at the Younger Dryas 13,000 years ago. And then, back to Global Warning which continues to this day. IMO, we're still coming out of the Ice Age. The Last Glacial Maximum(LGM) 18-23,000 years ago was one of the coldest periods during the whole Ice Age. It's probably what doomed the Neanderthals.

But, but, but. . .this can’t be true! It’s only mankind and our use of oil that causes global warming.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And certain land masses in the northern latitudes are now rising, after being squashed by centuries of ice.

Because Gore wasn’t around to sell carbon offset credits.

<> No, they were taking MEASURMENTS.

Calvo et al. analyze a marine core collected off South Australia and find that it contains detailed signatures of surface temperatures of waters that washed over it since the glacial maximum.

Data from this core match well with Antarctic ice cores and paleoclimate records from the Australian continent

I read it twice...
Is it colder now than it was then or was it warmer back then?

I’m confused.

Scientists used to have to take at least a bare minimum English composition course, but I guess they dropped that requirement.

But thanks for the artickle!

[allmendream]

20,000 years ago was the last glacial maximum. Things have gotten warmer since then. Bush blamed.

[ken21]

the carbon offset thing is a united nations scam.
