Humans have endured Global Cooling,
and Global Warming in the past. It's nothing new
..................................................................................................................................................................................
Humans have been around for a while. We've survived the coming and the going of the ice..the great ice..the Ice that covered whole continents...twice.
Lookit what we have achieved in the last five hundred years.
It's laughable to say that in the last five hundred THOUSAND years this is the pentacle of our achievement.
Problem is..we keep getting smashed flat by ice ages and flood.
- On a ho-hum day some 12,800 years ago, the Earth had emerged from another ice age. Things were warming up, and the glaciers had retreated.
.
Out of nowhere, the sky was lit with fireballs. This was followed by shock waves.
.
Fires rushed across the landscape, and dust clogged the sky, cutting off the sunlight. As the climate rapidly cooled, plants died, food sources were snuffed out, and the glaciers advanced again. Ocean currents shifted, setting the climate into a colder, almost “ice age” state that lasted an additional thousand years.
.
Finally, the climate began to warm again, and people again emerged into a world with fewer large animals and a human culture in North America that left behind completely different kinds of spear points.
..............................
At the end of the last ice age the sea level was four hundred feet lower than it is now. Humans live on the seacoast now...they did then too. It's reasonable to suspect that whole CITIES lie submerged at the edge of the continental shelf..what there is left of them. The titanic sank a hundred years ago and it's mostly rust now. In a hundred years there will be no remains. After fifteen thousand years under the sea...what would remain?

you should.
it's been getting colder for the last fifteen thousand years (on average)
notice the chart.
it's colder now (on average) than it has been since before the beginning of recorded civilization.
I think it is less a question of whether people can survive or not than how many people can survive.
THAT would depend upon the level of technology available to them.
indeed, humans can survive in space with enough technology.
yup...the International Space Station has been in low earth orbit for years.
"this is the pentacle of our achievement"
Uh ..., "pentacle?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentacle
Perhaps you meant to say "pinnacle"? Spellcheck sometimes creates very amusing substitutions.
ok...I misspellet it...
sue me.
er...sorry...I just re read my reply.
it sounded harsh...it was meant to be humorous..
It's OK. I have thick skin (wrinkly, too :-( and a sense of humor.
good.
I'm a certified curmudgeon.
just the way I am.
I'm sorry: we can't let just anybody become a curmudgeon. I'll need to see your certificate, sir. Rules are rules!
Eminently qualified! Thanks for cheering up the rest of my day with a good belly laugh!!!
I live to serve.
Take a look, I respect your opinion.

what has that got to do with the subject under discussion?
like I said above.
sorry
that was harsh.
BUT...it was accurate.
does the video have anything to do with global warming?
I read it.
Excellent.
I'm not sure what to think about 'homeless'. I have very mixed emotions (and opinions about them)
Like I said...excellent post...sorry for the 'snap'.
It had nothing to do with it.
No apology nesasary,
Thanks for the comment.
damn...I had intended to delete my response (and make it more polite)
before you read it.
I'll comment on your post...ON your post....in greater details shortly.
It's interesting with how rapidly the earth heated and cooled down in the past, with pretty much no human industrial activity. What could have caused such extremes?
I really have no idea.
I wonder what it could have been.
such a mystery.
Solar activity and volcanoes, for example. Temperatures have not increased for 19 years, and the data have been manipulated to project a false image. Polar bear numbers are increasing (and they are very fat), the ice near the North Pole is getting thicker and some ice at the South Pole is melting because of ... volcanoes under the ice. Famous fake news purveyor CNN will never properly report these "inconvenient" facts.

YAY! Finally someone who does not have their head up their ass.
er.
I mean..someone who is well informed.
Yup...the climate is, has, and always will be changing.
and it's not because of humans.
and there's not a damn thing we can do about .
Either we adapt..or we die.
I bet you're not on the 'invite' list to the global warming commission are you?
What an odd idea! Deplorable input is always welcome, isn't it?
Global warming and cooling are one of the major adverse effects of technology and industries in any nation. Despite that, we humans still overcome, one characteristics that make us humans - ADAPTATION. We tend to survive no matter the situation.
@everittdmickey
We humans r reasonable for this..
Cutting of forests, emissions of greenhouse at gasses on large amount, r among main reason for this situation called
"GLOBAL WARMING"..
Dont know why USA exit from "PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT?
We all need to come toghether to solve this essive..
did you even bother to read the article?
Yes i read the article.. Thought its all related to global warming..
no you didn't read the article.
tell me about the comets and the firestorms and the little dryas.
there IS no global warming.
it's colder now than it ever has been during recorded history.
and it's getting colder.
If you read more widely, you will find that "manmade global warming" is a hoax promoted for economic reasons: to destroy industry in advanced countries and shift money out of the pockets of taxpayers in these places. Global warming and cooling is caused by solar activity, volcanism and other factors. Manmade carbon dioxide is a very minor factor promoted by politicians and corporate-owned purveyors of fake news.
The climate has varied tremendously for millions of years before humans even existed. The sun has a tremendous effect on the world's climate
Yes and the PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT
was made to work on this major problem
Please explain just how the Paris Agreement will modify the sun's activity or turn off the volcanic heat under the Antarctic ice. I'm looking forward to your description of this stupendous technology.
Very interesting your publication, It is a rare idea but very successful! Before we humans existed, the climate varied too much and the sun was the one that gave great effect to the climate. But we have to adapt as
We can feel the global warnig more and more. Atleast I can. When I was a kid our winters were like -40 degrees, tons of snow. Lets say it was more than 10 years ago. Now here is "winter", +20 degrees, ZERO snow and people with T-shirts on the streets
lucky you.
keep thinking that.
um...you're complaining about not freezing to death?
I am complaining that I am missing snow :D
move?
I dont think to move, atleast for now. Maybe in the near future.
Oddly enough...most people move to where it is WARM.
