Notice how the media and the left (I'm being redundant) use slick word choice to obfuscate the facts. It was GLOBAL COOLING that doomed the Neanderthals, not climate change. With the left, swamps become "wetlands", normal weather becomes "climate change", political decisions become "scandals", and disinterested center are swayed. This has become a war of words, not information.

I don't believe any of it... I believe that they died out because they

It was "too hard" for a caveman to do it!

As to Al Gore, to paraphrase Winston Churchill:
Never have so few (one) done so much (damage) with so little (brains).

What a sad commentary on the state of Science and Education. A generation ago, he would have been laughed and ridiculed to suicide.

And Climate Change will trounce the Democrat Party, and Socialism worldwide when people eventually find out how they are being deceived. I keep waiting, but the deception keeps coming and people keep buying it. Amazing, isn't it?

They probably used too much toilet paper.

We tend to try and find “The” cause for something due to our scientific methods of controlled experiments, and our human desire for simple answers.
I personally think it is folly to look for “The” cause for Neanderthal extinction. Very rarely is there “a” cause for something. It is usually a combination of influences.

“But Neanderthals couldnt make the trip, Jiménez-Espejo said. This fact, the team believes, highlights the weakness of Neanderthals to cold, open environmentsas Iberia would have been at the time of their extinction.’
And I can’t make the trip over this weak stretch of speculation. I’ll wait for the next ‘breakthrough.’

What we are saying: Neanderthals struggled with climate change more than modern humans, and during the period of their extinction, very unfavorable climatic conditions were present.In other words, they didn't have the ability to adapt to the changes, so they died out.
