Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat

An anonymous reader writes "The climate was altered suddenly some 5,200 years ago with severe impacts. Famouse glaciologist professor Lonnie Thompson have found clues that show history repeating itself. Thompson has spent his career trekking to the far corners of the world to find remote ice fields and then bring back cores drilled from their centers. Within those cores are the records of ancient climate from across the globe. He outlined his fears today at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. 'The evidence clearly points back to this point in history and to some event that occurred. It also points to similar changes occurring in today's climate as well,' he said."

and there are thousands of scientists who have signed a petition stating that the evidence for global warming is not convincing. More research and less "oh my gosh! we are bad bad bad people who will kill everything! Hug trees! Hug trees! Love mother earth" crap needs to be done. Yes we are dumping a lot of CO2 and other crap into the atmosphere, water, land and while I would expect it to have some kind of consequence that doesn't mean it is nearly as bad as some scientists are claiming it will be.

BLASPHEMER! How dare you pervert the WORD OF GOD with your "close enough" apotheosis! These dirty mundane "scientists" are obviously plagarizing the HOLY BIBLE's story of THE FLOOD, and you are helping them DESTROY CHILDRENS' SOULS by supporting their lies. We will use you as kindling when we burn them at the stake. We'll pick you up after church Sunday - be ready, and wear something flammable.
