Wow, did we even have cars back then? ;)

Thanks for the Breaking News.
Wake me when it is conclusive.
Ice ages have occurred suddenly as well or so I have heard.
No living creature can say for certain, however
It makes sense. Every time the earth comes out of an ice age, there's a period of global warming. We came out of an ice age about 20,000 years ago, which is nothing on the scale of geologic time. Things will heat up for another 30,000-40,000 years before it peaks and starts to go the other way.
The whole notion of cars causing global warming is total bunk. It just kills me how many reputable science publications are buying into the global warming hoax. I can't even read Discover magazine anymore. Every damn article injects global warming somewhere. Their letters section always has people complaining about their buying into junk science. They always follow up with a disclaimer by the editor saying that global warming has a lot of proof on either side and that it's being debated in the scientific community. There ain't nothing to debate, it's a big fat scam.
In central Ohio there are peat bogs whose decaying vegetation keep the contained water very warm. Growing on the surface of these bogs are tropical plants.

So global warming causes the ice to melt which raises the sea level and floods all of coastal areas, except between Alaska and Siberia, where the melting ice causes the sea level to drop, creating land bridges where the water is now hundreds of feet deep.
Now I understand.
That durn Kinnewick man! He's to blame.
WOWSERS!!!! I didn't know that the origins of SUV's dated back 55 million years.
"sudden global warming 55 million years ago. "

They can hardly blame that on modern technology used by humans today.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.William the Conqueror's Global WarmingLloyd Keigwin, a researcher from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution... concluded that although sea surface temperature (SST) in the northern Saragasso Sea is now about 1 degree centigrade warmer than 400 years ago during the Little Ice Age, it is about 1 degree cooler than about 1,000 years ago during the Medieval Warm Period. Keigwin's conclusions are based on his study of sediment accumulation in the Saragasso Sea... Eleventh century society burned no gasoline. There were no electric power plants to burn coal. No chemical plants emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Airplanes, reputed to emit as much of the greenhouse gases as the eighth most polluting nation, were still 900 years away from being invented.

I don't care if it global warming makes it a degree or two hotter in Texas--as long as it's "dry" heat.
My son lives in Las Vegas and tells me when it gets around 110-120 it isn't so bad because it's the fabled 'dry' heat.
My oven has 'dry' heat too but I wouldn't want to live there at 120 degrees.
Wow, uh dah, would that still be Bush's fault???
"Global warming allowed mammals to emigrate across northern land bridges..."
I'm confused, I thought GW melted the polar ice caps flooding the land bridges?
There is the phenomenon of the March of the Pine
Forest. The pines have been moving north, headed for Alaska, for a long time, even before the SUVs. A mile a year. This is climate change happening for centuries now.
Northern Crater Shows Prehistoric Deep ImpactTo the rhinos and crocodiles of the far north, the day was like any other. They ate, swam and napped, unaware a celestial body was headed their way at 60,000 miles per hour. Suddenly, a wayward comet screamed into the atmosphere, struck Earth and created a bowl a mile deep and 15 miles in diameter.
by Ned RozellMars On Earth: Arctic Crater Reveals Martian Secrets (pt 2)Haughton Crater is the remaining scar from a high-speed collision between Earth and some heavy object from space about 23 million years ago. The comet or asteroid that created the crater was perhaps more than a mile (up to 2 kilometers) across and slammed into the forest that existed on Devon Island. Everything was annihilated for scores of miles in all directions. The impact churned up rock from more than a mile below the surface, vaporizing much of it. It's estimated that between 70 and 100 billion tons of rock was excavated from the crater in the moments just after the impact. While clouds of dust and gas filled the air, rock rained down from the sky, much of it in the form of what geologists now call breccia, which simply means "broken up." Scattered within the breccia are pieces of a rock called gneiss that normally is dark and dense. In Haughton Crater breccia, the "shocked gneiss" resembles pumice stone -- it's ash-white, porous and very lightweight.Voices of the Rocks"Yet, as it will, life returned to this site of complete devastation... The world those fossils described, the one that flourished on the order of 20 million years ago, during the early Miocene epoch, was strikingly different from today's Arctic... Devon Island was covered with a forest of birch trees and conifers, a landscape that one now finds about 2,000 miles to the south, in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Maine. Now-extinct forms of rhinoceros and mouse deer browsed among the trees; shrews and pika-like relatives of modern rabbits darted through the shadows; and freshwater fish swam the lakes and streams...

"Even farther back, on the order of 45 to 65 million years ago, during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, the fossil record shows Devon Island to have been still more profoundly different. Back then, what is now the Arctic was a region of swampy lowlands, slow-moving rivers, and towering forests of dawn redwood, kadsura, and ancestral forms of hickory, elm, birch, sycamore, and maple. Primitive fishes, crocodiles, salamanders, newts, and turtles inhabited the rivers and marshes, while the forests and meadows supported flying lemurs, early primates, forerunners of today's cats and dogs, and ancestors of the rhinos, tapirs, and horses."
