Good afternoon all,

Per ...

There are some links within above.

Note "..they drew strength from the animals they cared for".

Note sure how the scientists knew the ocean temperature 125,000 years ago. Maybe it's a rough guesstimate.

 

Good morning TMT Tactical,

My method is, when necessary, to use the adjective "real" ....... like in "REAL scientist", "REAL professor",...

Since we lost George Orwell in 1950, we have much extra work to do.

 

I lived and hunted in a rainforest for 35 years. They used clear cutting practices due to the heavy winds. Ten years later you couldn't tell, at a distance, that it had been logged. Fifty years later it was ready to log again. The Russians logged in Alaska. Some of those areas have been logged a couple of times. We purchased Alaska in 1867.
Small plants start growing and feed the deer. Trees spring up and take over in a few years. If you don't log then forest fires or wind storms do the job. California is having fires because of non management practices. Homes are being lost and people are dying.

 

Just a little clarification, Lonewolf. Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is a problem, no doubt. Brazil is aware of it, and they are trying to get cross border cooperation to make changes. While still a problem, the rate of deforestation has slowed over the past 10 years. Cattle ranching is the biggest culprit; accounting for 70%, but gold mining and timber poaching, taking trees illegally, are also culprits.

Palm oil plantations are a problem in Borneo and Sumatra, which is the habitat of the orangutan. Palm oil is used in a myriad of consumer products, and unless there is a public hue and cry to stop using it, the people who produce it will continue to do so with a basic disregard for the environment.
