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."
New York City will be flooded by seawater, the temperature will plunge at a rate of 10 degrees per second, and people will be transformed into ice statues where they stand. Tokyo will be bombarded with killer hailstones! The polar ice caps will MELT. This sounds like the perfect storyline for a really shitty mov-- oh, right..
This story is a dupe from 3196 B.C.
i see how it is. i finally get a girlfriend and now the planet's going to freeze over.
thanks a fucking bunch, environment.
Uhmm.. G.W Bush claims that "Global Warming" (henceforth referred to as "G.W") will melt the poles and ....
Whitehouse later retracted the claims when they realized NYC will be under 20 feet of sea water. The Gaia theory has been proposed along with Alaskan ice to fix the issue in concern.God shall call forth another great flood to cleanse the world.
Of course he blames the entire problem on Iraq and the fact that they set fire to oil wells in Kuwait in 1991 leading to a rise in temperature of the Free World. Also Canadians contribute to this problem in no small amount as a comparitive study of houses with central heating in Miami and Tornoto showed.
Mmm... twisted newsQuidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur
Exactly. Thousands and thousands of scientists (professors and otherwise) who have time and again proven global warming to be real and happening have repeatedly, collectively, and deliberately made mistakes in their experiments and calulatinons. In fact, as reported on a recent documentary on TV (forget the channel), there is an evil worldwide (at least Mexican-American-Canadian-British-Swedish-German-F rench-Finnish-Indian-Chinese-liberal) conspiracy against oil and energy companies trying to convince the world that CO2 emissions are bad.
