Actually global warming, to the extent it exists, is caused by the “Smart Growth” movement advocated by fashionable intellectuals and environmental utopians who want all new building crammed together in gigantic enclaves to help cut down on automobile travel,allow people to walk wherever they want to go, and kill “suburban sprawl” - this creates major thermal masses which trap and hold heat, raising the temperature within and nearby by several degrees at least - during our recent heat waves in this area, weather experts issued heat warnings for Philadelphia and its immediate surroundings, but not for those of us in a radius more than twenty miles away - silly environmentalists are going to kill us all with their save the world schemes......

I know, I’ve read it. Still - names, titles, motto, content of articles - all of it reads as a satire. I envy the people of the next century - they will read it and have so much fun - all without having to pay for that “science” through the nose.

“By showing that the disappearance of the mammoths probably impacted climate, we get to an interesting if-then situation. If humans contributed to the disappearance of the mammoth, they impacted the climate in doing that,”
And since GOD created man, then GOD caused global warming.

They are completely wrong. That's not what caused global warming. It was ACORN.

"Pleistocene"
I love that era. I always fantasize about finding a Clovis point. Wouldn't that be cool? I collect arrow heads, but these babes are out of my price range under the Obama economic austerity regime.

Wait a minute... Last month, it was mammoths farting that caused global warming (all that methane, you know). This month, it's mammoths
not farting that cause global warming?
Surely something is amiss... I wonder what ...

Where is even the most rudimentary evidence that human hunting activity had anything to do with the extinction of mammoths? It would be highly unlikely.

Speaking of giant bison; that raises a question. Or two. Where did modern bison come from if ancient man killed all the giant bison? Why didn't more recent hunters eliminate the much smaller modern bison? Wouldn't they have been easier to kill with the improved spears and arrows (archaeology bears that out) and the smaller size of the bison? Not to mention the fact that all those other huge animals were gone leaving little else to hunt.
Ancient man must have been like ants covering the whole of the earth.

Indeed. They were also very fat from eating every animal they found and so, eventually, became too fat to hunt any longer, which lead to the extinction of ancient man.
This extinction was aided by the dearth of very large game, and lead to the inevitable cannibalism, which in turn left few bones of ancient man to be found by industrious PHD types, which in turn lead to a huge rise in speculative activities by said PHD types in search of grant money so they too could become very fat.

"By combining these steps, we can get from fewer mammoths to a warmer climate," Field said. Added Todd Surovell, an anthropologist
Where to begin?
Well, my neighbor, who is a janitor, explained than to reduce CO2 and increase O2, we need to plant trees.
The guy at the gas station said all the mammoths were eaten by the clovis People.
This is one reason unemployment will remain high. Many jobs are still held by endangered idiots.

Damn! What are we waiting on?? Cut down all them damn trees and plant grassland. Get everyone down to the Amazon with a chain saw. I’m tired of this hot weather.
It never ceases to amaze me what BS the human mind can dream up with a little mistaken “cause and effect!”
