Al Gore Group Demands $15 Trillion To Fight 'Global Warming'...

[Ninurta]

Yeah, Al Gore (You Piece of Shit) how about donating 15 Trillion Dollars to Fight Global Cooling !!?? 

Explosion in Antarctic sea ice levels may cause another ice age

The last major ice age ended at the end of the Pleistocene era, about 2.5 million years ago, as glaciers have periodically grown and then gotten smaller.

I'm afraid I must beg to differ with your source - the last major ice age ended only 8 to 10 thousand years ago, not millions. The LGM (Last Glacial Maximum - scientists don't like spelling things out any more than the military, so science is full of acronyms, too) was at about 18,000 years ago, and glaciers crawled all the way down in the US to Ohio, covering a little more than half the state. a mere 18,000 years ago, Columbus, Ohio was covered by glaciers. ALL of Canada and half of the US was glacier covered. The UK was covered in glaciers all the way down to a line just north of Cornwall.

The retreat of those glaciers as the world warmed back up in the cycle is what created the Great Lakes - the glaciers dug them out, then filled them up with water as they melted. They were actually just one great big lake until an ice dam broke and created the St Lawrence Seaway and drained them down to what we see today. The English Channel was created from Doggerland by much the same process.

The entire US was, at the time of the LGM, a vast frozen tundra with  a smattering of taiga forest, similar to Siberia today. Mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, Dire wolves and sabertooth cats roamed that landscape - along with humans. These animals only went extinct 8 to 9 thousand years ago, as the glaciers retreated and the landscape changed to be less giant-animal friendly. As the prey species died, the predators that depended on them disappeared, too.

12,000 years ago, so much water was still locked up in glaciers and icecaps that the ongoing warming cycle (but without sufficient liquid water) created something like a desert in a band south of the ice. The wind-blown sand and grit left a layer 18 inches thick deposited, which can be seen on the shores of the Chessapeake Bay still today. It created a wasteland where humans could not live for a few thousand years, and they had to retreat southward until the climate warmed up enough to free up the water necessary for survival and create the vast woodlands we have today in that area. You see, COLD conditions create deserts, not WARM conditions. Too much water gets tied up in ice caps and glaciers. WARMER conditions are what free up enough water to saturate the atmosphere to the point that forests and rainforests are even possible.

Mammoths lived in Florida, and were hunted by humans, as shown by a carving of a mammoth found on a piece of bone from 12,000 years ago that was found just a few years back. In Saltville, just a few miles from where I sit in Virginia, people hunted mastodons 17,000 years ago. We've found the bones with butcher marks on them to prove it.

The last Wooly Mammoth died (if they are truly extinct - not convinced of that, either) a mere 4000 years ago - within historical times - on Wrangel Island.

I'm not entirely convinced that the current bout of "global warming" is not just us still trying to exit the ice age - in other words, I think it is the world still correcting climate to what it normally is between ice ages. Historically, on geological time scales, the world has been much WARMER than it is today, with sea levels quite a bit higher than they are currently. Likewise, the current round of animal extinctions may still be the same extinction event that killed off the mammoths and other megafauna - giant beasts are more sensitive to habitat changes than smaller ones. The dinosaur extinction event actually stretched out for 22,000 years. It was not overnight - it just appears so to most folks because the giant animals died relatively rapidly as the conditions produced by the Chixlub impact took them out due to their large size.

Al Gore and the entire "Anthropogenic Global Warming" hysterical crew are actually just trying to perpetuate the ice age, as the planet strives to regain normalcy and equilibrium.

Maybe they want to hunt mammoths in Florida with pointy sticks. I think their minds would change the very first time they actually saw a mammoth, with nothing but a pointy stick in their hand to get their supper with. What the hell would they do if a sabertooth or a pack of Dire Wolves wanted the same mammoth, and all they had to fight them off with was that same pointy stick?
