Yeah, it must have really scared the **** out the first North Americans as they walked across the Bering Land Bridge 15k years ago only to see their chances of returning to Asia smothered by a rising sea that transformed the Bering Land Bridge into the Bering Sea at the astonishing rate of 3mm/yr.
Well, I for one am not going to sit back and do nothing (or worse, go fishing) the way the first Americans did.
They took the hands-off approach, and look where it got them.
The ice sheets that were once more than two miles high at the very spot where I am seated here in SE Michigan are gone leaving us with huge lakes.
Had the first inhabitants only known that they needed a carbon-credit exchange (CCX), this could have all been avoided!
I wonder if they were climate deniers....

Of course "walked across" wasn`t meant to be taken literally since we already know that the first Americans lived on the dry land between Asia and North America (Beringia) before migrating Eastward, likely following bison herds.

I wish someone would do a psychological profile of your average denialist. Which is greater: Ignorance of selfishness? I can only surmise there are equal parts of both.
Temperature increases have followed CO2 levels historically, going from 200 to 400ppm is a significant increase. Increases in surface land and water temperatures have followed the increases in CO2.
Actually, CO2 follows temperature increases with an 800 year lag.
Think of warm soda vs cold...same principle.
Do none of you people take ****ing science classes?
The chorus of scientifically illiterate denialists have yet to offer one iota of credible, scientific research that disputes mankinds role in a rapidly warming planet.
Let's see your "credible" evidence? There has been none put forth. It's a complete hoax, and you know it.
Because we deny this so-called "climate change," a.k.a. "global warming," does not make us "scientifically illiterate." It just means we deny your "evidence" which has been manipulated and manufactured to show what you want to show, in order to support your agenda. Everyone knows this. Even you.
Lots of things go hand in hand like Ozone depletion, dramatic stratospheric cooling, increased UV radiation reaching the Earth`s surface and warming oceans, but you can`t tax chemicals already banned by the Montreal Protocol, so it`s definitely CO2 for sure!
So you are finally admitting that human activity is affecting the climate. Nice!
No they weren't. They lacked the technology that we have today which affects the climate. Why are you asking such a silly question? The earth would be in a cooling trend now if it weren't for our dumping of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Haven't you been paying attention to the conversation?
Why would a cooling trend be good?
