| Well, in a thousand years check-in here again and we can compare notes. In the Younger Dryas, the temperature changes of something like 10 F are thought to have happened in a decade or so. The real danger to us will be when the Holocene ends and we begin the next hundred thousand years of glaciatio... |

Even worse than the start and the end of the Younger Dryas? |

| Why are they attacking TV broadcast studios then? That's something that really only makes sense if you're trying to have a change of regime. The people can still get their news online, taking out the studios is a war crime and serves no purpose if you're not trying to have a change of regime. Then ... |

| We should always assume that the Orange Taco is only acting for his own aggrandizement. Yeah... I guess I didnt need a card reading to tell me that. :P What always shocks me is the way his supporters consider his unpredictability to be some kind of virtue. I think that what it really means is that ... |

| Meanwhile you don't say anything about Israel raping, torturing and murdering Palestinians since the 40s, which kinda deflates your claim that you'd say something about Israel raping, torturing and murdering Palestinians. I don't know what they call that where you're from, but where I'm from that's... |

| It is not at all comparable. America did not attack Israel. On the other hand, Israel and the Arabs there have been attacking each other for a long time. Sounds like you're offering excuses for ethnic cleansing, as though it's acceptable when certain people do it against other certain people. If yo... |

| I don't see it as a good guys vs bad guys thing. It seems to be more of a bad guys vs bad guys. Because of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, I have had a rather low opinion of Israel.

During much of the Holocene Climatic Optimum -- roughly in the period of 5,500 to 9,500 years ago -- when the Earth was warmer than now, sea levels were something like two meters higher than today.
Lower ocean salinity, but somehow the Earth managed to survive. |
