You mean 7,000 years ago we had global warming too?

Yeah, but that was good global warming.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Boy, you would think there was some kind of repeating cycle going on. Nah, can't be.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No, we had global COOLING. The global warming was for a long period preceding that.

[SengirV]

That part always seems to get glossed over in these articles.

Actually 7000 years ago it was global cooling, because the glaciers were advancing. On the other hand, before they were advancing, that part of Canada was MUCH warmer than it is now, thus allowing the trees to grow. The evidence of forest growth in far northern reaches is proof that temperatures in the not too distant past were warmer than today, and as far as I know, the ice agers around then didn’t drive cars to hunt the mammoth and other game.
........As for being proof of global warming, ask why sea ice in antarctica was at RECORD levels this past summer (the southern hemispheres winter)? One could take that fact as evidence of global cooling.

Yes, and it was our fault. Fortunately, Al Gore was there to save us, ushering in the beneficial ice age that killed every living thing in it’s path, and thus preserved for our children and children’s children these wonderful tree stumps.

Yes, its true. Apparently ancient civilizations from 7,000 years ago also used Metro Bus’s firing up diesel engines.....
