Mud cylinders reveal humans' impact on Earth began earlier than we thought

The planet belongs to the peak of the chain pyramid, that's us. We'll have cause and effect, some interference with natural cycle, most not. That's our prerogative and that's fine when your the king of the hill.

The planet is not a life form. It's a planet so stop thinking we're some kind of parasite making mother Gaia sad. There is no mother Gaia. It's a pile of stuff, some alive, most not.

Scientists had expected to see the first "signal" of human intervention a few centuries ago, when landscapes really started to transform during the Industrial Revolution. Pollen records from the mud core research have led them to radically readjust that assumption, and track our species' first impact on the natural world back to about 4,000 years ago.

It's a discovery that has major implications for the future of our forests and other natural landscapes.

With a million species at risk, what do we save?
World 'losing battle against deforestation'


The evidence for all these grand theories exists in the tiny grains of pollen that fell and settled in layer upon layer of mud over the centuries. By carefully extracting that mud, like a cork from a wine bottle, and analysing the "fossil pollen" at different depths, researchers were able to carbon date each mud layer to work out what grew, when.

LOL, I was thinking the claim was that some ancient race was making cylinders out of mud and somehow that greatly affected the climate. It makes more sense now...

I was laughing hard enough then I saw the Spanky meme, it's going to be a wild night.

5 stars for the belly laugh.

The only THING that this research affirms is, that if you are looking for a THING, you will find someTHING, in everyTHING, but proving only to yourself that, your THING was the right THING after all and everyone else's THING is wrong.

Everybody has a thing, don't we?

A Thing we like to eat.
A Thing we like to do.
A Thing we cherish.
A Thing we Love.
A Thing we hate.
A Thing we avoid.
A thing we welcome.


Things are infinite in definition.

You will find the THING you are looking for if you look hard enough to find it.

This made me look at article.

From the article:

"We see that trend [in vegetation change] picking up at different points," says Dr Flantua. It's earlier in Asia and South America, and slightly later - about 2,000 years ago - in Europe.

------------------------------------------

The Egyptians, Carthagians, Minoans and Romans were making a huge impact well before 2000 years ago. The Greek forests were depleted before the Persian wars, they had to modify how their ships were built to save on wood. Well before that the Egyptians were terracing huge amounts of land to grow food. Early Europeans before that eliminated elephants from Cyprus and Sicily. And by Asia I hope they don't mean the Hwang Ho civilization in China, what a over inflated bunch of crap. It didn't really start until about 0 AD. Too much CCP bribe money going to PBS lately to push the lie of early Chinese accomplishments, they were 2000 years late.

Rant off. Carry on.

Yep scientists. Believe in them.

Yes caveman caused uncontrolled global warming

Right leftist loon

It will get pushed back into the last ice age once the idiot scientists factor in the ocean level drop from 4,000 bc into the Younger Dryas and begin taking cores on the ocean floor off the beaches of the planet down to at least 100 feet off the majority of coastlines.

This will take decades of course, because most scientists are complete idiots.

Eventually some Einstein will realize that just as 90% of humans live at or near the ocean now, it was just as likely 12,500 years ago and more in the distant past. At or near the ocean 12,500 years ago means off the coastline into what is now the ocean in the majority of areas.

I'm not holding my breath, but eventually the moranic scientific community will pull its head out of its ass.

Devils Tower in Wyoming was not caused by lava...

Those are called core samples not mud cylinders.

nah its glp greentard alert

Yep, the BBC, I heard this bullshit narrative on Radio 4 the other day

To justify "their" plan to depopulate...

.


those 2 liberal woman scientists on the boat will now prove we are surrounded by UFO....


please ....

So maybe humans were never meant to be here and somehow now that we are we've been been destroying the planet ever since

The replies are a bit crazy on this site. There are some weird people here.
Be careful..
Reading them will make you a bit weird too

Your right. They never should have been created. Biggest mistake ever.

Genesis 6:6
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Ohio chicks hot.

Then you don't mind if I harvest you like a pig....eat and then simply flush down the toilet?

Clear as mud !

You know... The Thing!

Nice post:personal green t:

Fuggin mud cylinders, man.

Eye lyke

<--- I like to eat hot squishy muddy cylinders out of dogs asses. That's the only thing im good at. Hi Im joe Biden and i eat dogshit
