Good day all. As the Mid-Atlantic states dig themselves out from under 2+ feet of Global Warming, a story came out last week on a study that Man caused global warming was started by man thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n

\"Manure\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, it seems that the ancient farmers, long before the building of the pyramids, were causing the glaciers to melt and the seas to rise. Here are the details from Fox News Science<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s first farmers and their slash-and-burn agriculture may have set off global warming. <\/b>A new analysis of ice-core climate data, archaeological evidence and ancient pollen samples is being used to suggest farming some 7,000 years ago helped put the brakes on a natural cooling process of the global climate, possibly contributing to the warmer climate seen today.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"steaming_pile_of_horseshit\"<\/a>But the study is expected to raise a few eyebrows, given there were far fewer people on Earth back then and industrialization — and the coal-fired power plants that come with it — was still a long ways off.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"captain_obvious\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who came up with this load of manure anyway?<\/p>\n

The study was the work of an international team led by William Ruddiman, a University of Virginia climate scientist, who first grabbed attention a dozen years ago with a controversial theory that humans altered the climate by burning massive areas of forests to clear the way for crops and livestock grazing. Dubbed the \u201cearly anthropogenic hypothesis,\u201d Ruddiman and his colleagues found that that carbon dioxide levels rose beginning 7,000 years ago, and methane began rising 5,000 years ago.<\/b><\/p>\n

So, it’s all the fault of the hunters and gatherers who decided that it was time to settle down and grow food instead of worrying about getting stomped by a woolly mammoth when they got hungry? Please, there were probably only some 20-50 million people alive back then and not all of them were farmers. As to the slash and burn technique? There is a small caveat that this dimbulb and his team neglected to consider. Back them, they did everything by hand. No tractors, wooden plows and probably just sticks. They wouldn’t take out an entire forest for one reason. They couldn’t do anything with the land. They didn’t have the resources.<\/p>\n

In the latest paper, Ruddiman and his 11 co-authors from institutions in the United States and Europe conclude that that accumulating evidence in the past few years, particularly from ice-core records dating back 800,000 years ago, show that an expected cooling period was halted after the advent of large-scale agriculture. Otherwise, they say, the Earth would have entered the early stages of a natural ice age, or glaciation period.<\/b><\/p>\n

As I recall, the planet was coming out of a major ice age about 12,000 years ago or so. As to \u201cLarge scale farming,\u201d we’re talking about perhaps a total of 1 million acres at best. That isn’t a lot. Not to mention that all those food plants tend to like CO2.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly farming helped keep the planet warm,\u201d Ruddiman said in a statement, regarding the study that appeared in a recent edition of the journal Reviews of Geophysics, published by the American Geophysical Union. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 12 years of debate about whether the climate of the last several thousand years has been entirely natural or in considerable part the result of early agriculture, converging evidence from several scientific disciplines points to a major anthropogenic influence,\u201d he said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"bullshit-meter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This moronic moonbat sounds like paid up disciple of the Church of Global Warming<\/i><\/span> Climate Change. (Algore be Praised! Algore Akbar!) Warm weather is good. Snow and ice is bad. You can grow food in warm weather. Tasty animals can find fodder to eat and are able to make more tasty animals. If this idiot thinks that the earth needs to become a snowball, then I suggest he get a shovel and head to Maryland and start digging.<\/p>\n

Paul C. “Chip” Knappenberger, assistant director at the Cato Institute’s Center for the Study of Science, noted the significant impact of ice ages in an email to FoxNews.com. “As far as the human condition goes, ice ages are far, far worse than interglacial warmth, so if human activities (in the distant past, or even in the present) have contributed to helping to avert an ice age, we should be celebrating our feat (instead of wringing our hands with worry over our impacts on the climate),” he explained. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Reagan_toasting\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exactly right. Plants grow a lot better when it’s warm out. They don’t do to well in freezing temperatures with the ground turned to permafrost. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion that this \u201cstudy\u201d was paid for by the taxpayers. This ranks right down there with putting a shrimp on a treadmill. (Instead of the Barbecue)<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
