Scientists drilled through 500 metres of Greenland’s ice — here’s what they found at the bottom (evidence that it all melted away previously)

I just visited Mt Greylock (highest mountain of Massachusetts).
On the top, there is an illustration of the Ice age cover.
About a kilometer of ice was covering the mountain only just like 12,000 years ago.
The ice was higher than the mountain itself and the veteran monument tower on top would be just buried under the thousands of feet of ice.
There are scratches on the rocks caused by the glacier. Analysis, similar to the Greenland one, was performed there, showing that the ice melted very quickly!

“ If dinosaurs were driving SUVs. What were they using as fuel? ”

Why, methane of course, sold at Sinclair stations along with fart production vegan burritos. .

Glacier Girl is a P-38 Lightning fighter.

I was lucky enough to be working a Lockheed Fort Worth when she paid a visit. Beautiful restoration of an early model. And the sound when she made doing a low pass down the runway on departure.

Last ice age the sea level dropped about 400 ft, all that water had to go some where. It got land locked as ice.

Beautiful machine. Incredible sound.

And a living rebuke to the idea of global warming.

Hmmm...”Prudhoe Dome” <-—> “Prudhoe Bay”

Why does that bring to mind “I drink your milkshake”?

Maybe in another 500 years the Greenland icecap will melt. If it does, it will be due to natural causes, not manmade CO2.

Not THAT much warmer. In Greenland’s case, the movement would be east to west, rather than south to north.

People forget we are coming out of an ice age. Before that Ice Age, there wasn’t as much—-you guessed it!—Ice!

Petroleum products created by ancient plant life, rotted and compressed over millennia. That is, assuming you believe the world is billions of years old, rather than 6,000, or so.

The Laurentide ice sheet was still melting and the formation of the Great Lakes was almost complete but the MSM and fake science outlets will never tell you that.

There have also been suggestions that during ice ages the ice cap of permanently frozen sea ice might have dipped far enough south for ancient humans to have walked across the Atlantic to America. And some of the earlier tools found in US resemble Western European tools from the same timescale.

In that case I guess the native Americans aren’t so native to America.

In the 70's, during the "Coming Ice Age Era";
I remember reading an article about how Scientists wanted to sprinkle coal dust on Greenland's glaciers to melt them, to prevent the coming Ice Age. smh

Geologist have found river beds in the Sahara, that the Mediterranean Sea at one point had pretty much dried up and CO2 was so high ferns were as tall as trees.

This planet’s climate is not dependent on man.
