Retcon Climate Science Blames Humans For Fires 13,000 Years Ago

The New York Times proclaimed in a recent article that humans caused catastrophic wildfires in California, leading to a large and tragic loss of life.
The author seemed to blame these fires on man-made climate change and pointed to evidence of humanity’s negative effect on the environment by
citing a peer-reviewed study in a prestigious academic journal.
The science is clear, the article argues: Human beings caused one of history’s great tragedies through their careless disregard for the environment.

Humans are doomed to repeat burning of their surrounding environment every thirteen thousand years.

And sadly there are people who believe such BU!!SH!T!

Is this an eye roll moment Yogi?

It’s always an eye roll moment Boo Boo

[kickstart]

I thought it was the SUVs driven by the mastodons?

[Openurmind]

Lol... Obviously some woke uneducated idiot.

[Spok]

Since we can’t rely on the media anymore, there’s a lot of speculation going on about the recent catastrophic fires being started by environmental nut jobs to show us how bad climate change is. I mean, wouldn’t the media tell us if they knew? Wouldn’t they?

[Bounced2X]

Yep. Those early humans sure were a dangerous lot.

[Maine Mariner]

Whew! At least the article did not blame President Trump.

When the o’holy grant money is at stake, anything is fair game, including rational thought.

This is direct result of too many people gaining access to higher academic education.

[glorgau]

And amazingly it was caucasians that started all the fires, killed themselves and then left the western hemisphere vacant for the remaining indigenous people to heal the tortured land. Not.

I was having similar thoughts.

The competition for Global Warming study grants must be fierce.

It must take wilder and wilder flights of fancy to get the attention of those approving research grants.

They must of read this submission and thought 'This guy is a complete nut bag. We just have to see what he comes up with just for laughs!'

[Nifster]

Most likely the idiot that didn’t put out his camp fire

[Pontiac]

Smoky the Giant Cave Bear must have been making frowny faces.

But the cited study is based on megafauna evidence gathered at La Brea Tar Pits — from 13,000 years ago. According to the NYT author, scientists have “concluded that the disappearance of … large mammals in this region … was linked to rising temperatures and increased fire activity spurred by people.”

If I remember right the only thing that you get out of the tar pits is skeletons.

So, how does a credible scientist deduce from skeletons in a tar pit that those skeletons died in a forest fire or died of starvation caused by a forest fire?

And considering that most forest fires are caused by lighting strikes how could one logically deduce that forest fires 12,000 years ago was caused by humans?

This is not research it is fairy tales.

[depressed in 06]

Trump is almost Sniffer’s age, of course, he is responsible for something 13,000 years ago.

[fruser1]

Ah, yes, the days before lightning.

[SunkenCiv]

So, a tiny little population started wildfires that completely destroyed the megafauna? Wow, that's just amazing. Urinate off, Panic Porn spreaders.

Nice two-lister topic.

Its the only way they can improve the GloBULL Warming gambit by saying that it started much longer ago than we previously thot!

[falcon99]

“peer-reviewed study in a prestigious academic journal”

Instead of adding credibility to the “research” this only shows how bankrupt and political our academic field is.

[Grimmy]

Might this have been caused by whatever event provided the heat to start the great melt of the Younger Dryas mega floods?
