When Abraham lived in Ur, it was a coastal village on the Persian Gulf. Today, it is 100 miles inland.
Also, the Persian Gulf was completely dry during the Ice Age.
It starts with that damned neanderthal squirrel always trying to find somewhere to hide his nut.
I was in Saskatoon for the May 2-4 weekend about 25 years ago. We were wearing parkas. It’s no colder now.

You right wing nuts should not link me to this thread ... and you should not refer to me as a snowflake!
For 80,000 of the last 100,000 years most of Canada was essentially no different than Antarctica. Reverting to that is scary stuff...this is very well written.
People, understandably, have trouble understanding geologic time versus recorded history time. Recorded history goes back about 5,000 years - ice ages go back and forth every 100,000 years or so. The entire recorded history of the planet fits into one warm period. That period will end...and it may start during our lives, or it may not - but it will end, and the world will be a vastly different place from what it is now.
I was in Sacramento for the May 2-4 weekend about 25 years ago. We were wearing shorts. It’s not warmer now. ;)
From Texas to Florida, the states will be HUGE.
Imagine the crops we can grow if the Gulf of Mexico drops 200 feet or so.
Oh yeah, and the higher CO2 will make all plants grow much faster.
Yeah....and 200 ft nearer all that OIL.
It has already started with a decline in the Sun's magnetic field.
Resulting in less sunspots over an extended period...
Welcome to another 400 year long mini ice age.
Imagine the drought that would ensue across the entire southeast if the Gulf were to be reduced in such a manner. I suspect it’s be a net loss of productive farmland.
And another one...
Yup.
I've had my eye on that one too.
And, other possibilities...

It will start in NE Quebec.
Are you sure you don’t mean the “stakes will he hugh”?
We could reclaim a lot of fertile submerged delta land.
In an Ice Age, cold dry wind blows hard directly west to east; the trees die out leaving cold dry grassland with lots of sand dunes all the way through Florida. The three bands of weather from the poles to the equator change to just two bands. Adequate rainfall for field crops will only exist near the equator. I think the massive chem-spraying is why we are colder and is to bring just that weather (Ice Age).
