5,000-8,000 years ago! How'd they do it? Farming and, ummm, building stuff with wood. Ya know, like that pesky wheel thingy. And where did the wood come from?
SHOCKA - through the cutting down of trees! EVIL,
EVIL humans!
So humans 5,000-8,000 years ago - without the benefit of EVEN ONE SUV - caused enough global warming to stop a "period of glaciation". Naturally the fact that such glaciation was stopped (even if it was stopped by man) merits little to the Warmingists among us. Stopping said glaciation allowed an unprecedented boom for mankind from which every man, woman and child since has benefitted.
This is good news for the eco-extremists. NOW they can point to just plain old human survival as the means of destroying Mother Gaia. Just going through the motions of subsistence farming is enough to destroy the delicate balance of an entire planet. Think about that again: the current population (estimated) of the city of New York City was enough 8,000 years ago to WARM AN ENTIRE PLANET! Without even ONE international oil conglomerate.
So mankind, no matter what he does or doesn't do, contributes to the destruction of Our Mother Gaia, just by being. Pretty conveninet argument on the side of the Warmingists don't you think?
Wanna know what is really funny? This new information IS inconveninet in one way to the eco-wacko vegans out there. Even if you have your own little subsistence garden, you too are guilty of an eco-crime!
