  • It is the greatest climate disaster to ever have hit the Earth. Over 650 million years ago a cataclysmic ice age sealed the entire planet beneath ice and snow, wiping out nearly all life.
    In this truly spectacular documentary series, we go on a journey through the history of natural disasters. We'll be investigating from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.

And it makes me wonder what people 12,000 years from now are going to dig up from our civilization and think about us. Like Mount Rushmore. Or the giant statue of a McDonald’s big Mac. Will they even know it was something we ate? Will they even be able to read our language? The thought of them seeing those four faces on mount Rushmore and thinking we worshipped them as gods, I can’t help but fucking laugh 😂. I feel like carving “you been rickrolled!” Somewhere on there.

    pointing greenhouse gasses as the driver for everything is just stupid. the direct effect of CO2 is weak. the argument for anthropogenic global warming requires the argument of strong amplification by other sources. So, let's just ditch the stupid CO2 argument. What caused the current northern hemisphere ice age?
    there are two factors: 1) land mass at the high latitudes, 2) warm ocean current to the high latitudes. this increases precipitation, in the winter leads to snowfall, landmass allows snow to accumulate. if sufficient to last through summer, then much of the sun's light is reflected away. Milankovitch cycles only modulate the cycles.

      Not a single one would survive the conditions portrayed in this video. First, all sea animals would die from lack of oxygen. There is no wave action dissolving oxygen or carrying it away into the deep sea.
      Not a single land animal would survive either with ALL of the land buried in a mile of ice. Not a plant in sight. Therefore, no food.
      But it's actually worse than all this. The sea being deprived of oxygen would become saturated in hydrogen sulfide from bacteria. Remember, they are claiming 25million years of this ice. The entire ocean under the ice would be full of hydrogen sulfide.

    If such a thing happened, it was one of geologists' favorite measurements, "millions of years ago". Generally, they're wildly wrong about the use of that phrase, but in this case, it fits. Earth may have been "detritus" scattered by a supernova, some 20-50 million years ago! It wandered through interstellar space for close to a million years, following that event, before being "captured" by Sol, shortly before Jupiter joined the ragtag circus of planets and debris circling our current primary. That's according to the ancient Greeks, who tell us Jupiter (Zeus) came along to scatter the Titans (Saturn/Cronos, Uranus/Poseidon, Neptune/Oceanus), in the living memory of men. Any other attempt to push "Ice Ages", or drag them into the time of Man, is disingenuously wrong.
