You all have such a concern about control.. I agree..

what happens to that concern when we bring up the orange man and his tax theft and policies???

You stole my thunder! Had I not been forced to burn some fossil fuel to go purchase the onion I forgot yesterday, I would have beat you to it!

How does anybody know how long it took to melt the glaciers last go round?

Ah yes, you must be lovely to share a meal with Comrade.

LET ME TRY ONCE MORE:


This babbling post betrays your pseudo & false sense of reality: "When it ended, for a varity of reasons." (STATE THOSE varity(sic) OF REASONS)

Temp increased over centuries and the land glaciers melted. Mostly. Remnants are around..

but this time frame of centuries is, in the current problem cut down to only decades.. "..only decades.. REALLY? HOW IN HELL DID YOU ARRIVE AT THAT?

time is the major problem.. No time to adapt.. If that would be possible." YOU are an ALARMIST- ALGORE is proud of you, son.

Tax and theft policies? Don't go changing the subject now!

Since I am particular as with whom I enjoy brunch, you will never know. Just add that to the library of things of which you insist upon being ignorant.

Noticed that also did you? These guys are professional chicken Little’s.

How old are Trump, and the evil Koch bros? How old are you? Is this something that future generations can't figure out? Why the sudden urgency? Are your kids stupid? Mine aren't and it's not something to pull a knee jerk, and try to fix yesterday. Gimme a break!

The only thing the left is trying to get a handle on is the toxic waste that is produced from the production, refining and using fossil fuel. But you folks keep clamoring that we are trying to control the climate, which is farthest from the actual truth but of course, that is what they keep feeding you and what you keep digesting, sooner(hopefully) than later you guys will finally wise up and get sick of it and throw it up. Unfortunately much more damage will be done to the earth, creatures and people, and maybe unreversible.

What damage is that exactly?

Well, if you can't answer the question at hand, change the question. Divert, duck, dodge.
Do you know how many years it took to melt the glaciers last time around? I dont, but can give you a pretty close approximation in Texas terms.

A massive outpouring of carbon dioxide from the deep ocean may have helped end the last ice age, scientists report today.

There is strong evidence that changes in Earth's orbit set the pace of the planet's ice ages, by altering how much sunlight reaches the Northern Hemisphere. Yet, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere also wobble with the advance and retreat of massive ice sheets, according to observations of ice cores and old ocean sediments. Carbon dioxide levels are lower during an ice age and higher when an ice age ends.

Now, scientists have documented a source for the massive exhalations of potent climate-altering gas seen at the end of the last ice age, about 16,000 years ago. [Photos: The 8 Coldest Places on Earth]

The oceans were leaking carbon dioxide to the atmosphere," said study co-author Gavin Foster from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.

The researchers, led by Miguel Angel Martínez-Botíz of Britain’s National Oceanography Center in Southampton, looked at ice-age seafloor sediments in two regions where ocean currents force deep- ocean water to the surface. They examined the shells of single-celled microbes called foraminifera, which preserve the ratio of chemicals in seawater as they grow. A certain chemical ratio involving boron is a proxy for the carbon dioxide concentration in seawater thousands of years ago, when the microbes lived and died.

The samples tested in the study come from two seafloor drilling sites. One is located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, midway between South America and Africa, and the other is offshore Ecuador on the underwater Carnegie Ridge.

Very high concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide suddenly appeared in surface waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean and the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean at the end of the last ice age, the researchers said today (Feb. 11) in the journal Nature. Surface waters in both regions show a dramatic rise in dissolved carbon dioxide levels at the same time as the recorded rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide in ice cores, the researchers report.

During the early Holocene Epoch, about 10,000 years ago, the carbon dioxide exhalations continued, yet gas levels stabilized in the atmosphere, according to the new study. This suggests that something starting sucking up the gas, perhaps re-growing forests or expanding peat bogs on land, the researchers said.

Oh shut up. You have no answer. What are you gonna use that isn’t toxic in your mind? Wind, solar? All you guys do is whoa is me the Climates falling. Nuclear? Comes with its own problems. Right? Your solution. Just quit using fossil fuels. Not even remotely realistic. I’m constantly amazed how worried you guys are about climate change yet Iran getting nukes, ISIS recruiting and rocket man don’t phase you.

Morgan

Ha, and I'd never want to know I no sooner have lunch with a warthog than you, my stomach couldn't take it.
