pretty sure it was 10,000 years ago (see Doggerland)

Science teaches that 10,000 years ago, there was a sheet of ice two miles thick over my part of northern NY and a kilometer thick over most of GB. I've referred often to Doggerland, which is just around the corner from you.
Do you believe that man's activity had anything to do with the melting of those glaciers or the flooding of Doggerland?
Yeah, I was an academic bum for a long time, gathering degrees. Then for 18 years, I was an ergonomist. Then I retired to teach.
Love to make it to the UK one day, do a month stating bed and breakfast, the ole inns and taverns, see you tourist trap castles and estates.I noticed doser's post which put your past down as a mere science teacher, wishing to know if you were published...... I feel confident thatr if you have been published that doser will then want to know if you've been 'peer-reviewed'.
I do love that word 'scientist'. It's the very best waffle word that there is.
Truth to tell, most folks are surveyors, researchers, chemists, engineers, medics, dendrologists, etc etc..... and the word 'scientist' is just so inexact.
I mentioned dendrology because I studied that subject, was accepted to work at Greenwich Maritime Museum in Dendo-Chronology but the wage was sadly not enough to pay the mortgage and family expenses. I had to stay on in the Timber Trade for the money...... But that was nearly half a century ago now. We all were involved with and in science at some time in our lives. The word 'scientist' does not impress me much these days.

Other researchers suggest 30,000 years actually.r
It's interesting to note that you do acknowledge a 10,000 year old Earth and Universe...... you just need to stretch that out a little further.
No, doser, the retreating of the ice and the rising of the World's oceans by many meters was not driven by mankind's activities back then. It wasn't just the land-bridge, now known as the Dogger Bank which was submerged, but land masses all over the planet.
If your level of intellect calculates that because of previous Earth coolings and warmings, this can show that man's activities over the last 2-300 hundred years have not made a difference during this period then this warms my heart and I will smile all the more when in future you chuck your 'retard' bricks at folks.
Don't be a dope, doser.

So far, the sea rise has been largely by thermal expansion, not addition of melt water. The melting of the ice at the North Pole doesn't add anything to sea levels for reasons that should be obvious. When it melts, it occupies less volume by precisely the volume above water level. The now-accelerating melting of continental and alpine glaciers is another story; that will bring up sea levels, and apparently will do so faster than previously estimated.
There really isn't much you can do long-term about sea level rise, other than stop whatever is causing it. If the glaciers melt, the level is coming up.
The interesting thing is, if the Sun was the key element in the current climate change, the glaciers would be growing. Solar output is markedly down. Ordinarily, we'd be in a cooling period, but instead we are having record high temperatures for the Earth almost every year. The atmospheric effects of increasing carbon dioxide are stronger than the decrease in solar radiation.
The only way to reverse the warming trend is to lower the amount of heat absorbed by the atmosphere. There are at least two possible ways to do this. One would be to lower the output of carbon dioxide. The second would be to increase the albedo of the Earth. It's been suggested that putting many ships out to sea, with devices to make clouds from ocean water, the increase in reflectance might make the difference.
It's as though there were "denier biologists" who might claim that since extinction was common before man even existed on Earth, it is therefore proven that man cannot cause extinctions. No amount of reason or evidence will have an effect on such people. Their minds are impervious to the truth.
Not the complete abandonment of oil and gas in 10 years.
Not the complete takeover of the economy by the corrupt government.
That’s the NOT side.
what would be positive side?
are you totally against solar?
Can’t we do both instead of each side trying to destroy the other?
A house divided cannot stand.
California, beautiful State as far as scenery in mountains, desserts, coastline is concerned, lots of good foodIf you do come here and pass through Kent I would be pleased to meet up.
My last meeting with an IT forum member was in 2013 when an Indian Gold trader came to the Goldsmiths exhibition in London. We spent the most brilliant afternoon sightseeing on the touring buses.
Where do you live?
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
Of course not... that's a ridiculous question.That’s the NOT side.
what would be positive side?
are you totally against solar?
Again... DUH!Can’t we do both instead of each side trying to destroy the other?
Wow... so insightful!A house divided cannot stand.
No offense intended, but that is really stupid.As well as Solar Voltaic systems we also have hydro-dams, wind, wave and hydro-tidal systems. We also have some high altitude lakes which we pump water up in to at night for daily release in to hydro-power.
Of course not... that's a ridiculous question.
What I'm against with solar is tax-payer money being spent to make it appear to be an economically cheap alternative to other actual cheap sources.
Again... DUH!
Wow... so insightful!
NO, I am NOT OK with that.The fossil fuel companies have been getting massive tax breaks for decades, so they were and are propped up long before solar was a thing. You are OK with all that.
No offense intended, but that is really stupid.
There is a NET ENERGY LOSS with that type of "idea".
Nope. It's going to get worse before it gets much worse.
Here are the facts:
The Earth is warming. It is not increasing in temperature because of carbon dioxide; it is because of friction within the planet. We have a molten core that has lava "raining" onto it from the mantle.
The reason for the warming is mankind. The cause of global warming is not because people drive SUVs. It is because Adam sinned, leading to the chain of events culminating in the flood. This wrecked the crust, leaving the planet somewhat more out-of-the-spherical than it was. Gravity is trying to squeeze a slightly less massive Earth back into a sphere, which is what is causing all the friction.
The results will be catastrophic. It's a process on an exponential path toward the complete melting of the entire planet. Elements themselves will melt away.
Now, Darwinists agree with the main, bolded points there. The one point we disagree on is the solution:
The solution is the Gospel, not "carbon initiatives." Evolutionists wail about how much stuff people use, which distracts from the important stuff, ie, salvation.
