Who settled it? AL GOre and DR Suzuki? THe clowns that lied to us and the gullible like you believe while they make Billions off of your ignorance/
A drastic change in climate might be fun when you still have 'fire'. Everybody can live in a polished ice house. A wall of ice 2km high that is built greenhouse style and it produces crops year round thanks to the passive solar design. So far I haven't seen Popular Mechanics promoting any technology that would make a speed bump out of the change to a full-blown ice-age that may last 100,000 years or more.
Perhaps that first one set up a cycle that is unlike the stable spinning planetoid before comets started delivering comets that would number so many that it contains all the water we have on earth. That would have created snowball earth and snow puts out a 'fire' a lot faster than rain does but rains is a gentle cooling process that doesn't fracture the crust. Once comets were landing as 'hail.rain' the snow was able to lay down a blanket that was a few kms deep (or whatever the math comes up with). With the atmosphere in direct contact with molten rock the transfer of heat would have been at a set rate and while the snow/rain would have sped up the cooling process in the crust and that solid crust shed heat at a slightly slower rate and when covered with a blanket of snow it kept in more heat than is used to shed and over time the magma started to heat up and become more liquid and be under increasing pressure that eventually cracked the shell all the way around the globe in the same sort pattern that the earth is cracked.. (put a cold egg into boiling water and the shell will crack but if you put a egg int water and bring the water up to a boil the egg's shell ill not crack)
If bogus science was being peddled to the public then it is another version of the 'Snake-Oil Salesman' and it seems like they cleaned house already. That leaves one question, just how gullible is the General Public in North America? (since we consider ourselves to be the smartest on the planet)
So will the one that replaces it.
That doesn't seem to mean the 'General Public' won't buy it 'hook,line, and sinker' just as fast either, only the recovery time is getting shorter rather than the scams being eliminated before it takes 'rewards'.
It is 'kid' like behavior but since we are the 'educated ones' we must have been trained to be kids as far as spotting 'lies' (for lack of a better term)
There must be some little tests that indicate a person tendency to be a kid instead of a sheeple (for lack of a better term)
