Perfectly Preserved Ancient Horse Unearthed in Siberian Permafrost

Interesting.

You think just the Arctic is warming?

Wait until Noah's ark is seen by all, due to the "global melting". That'll be real "news". Their, "it's".... 30,000 to 40,000 year old guesses, won't mean much then.
"Science" will have a hard day ahead, trying to explain away a 4000 year old history book they've tried so hard to refute.

That dead horse ain't over a thousand years old.

Show us. Then we'll talk.

Do I think global warming is the cause of the warming? It's possible, but I don't know enough to say it definitively either way.

a reply to: knowledgehunter0986

So you think that the Arctic warming which is resulting in the thawing of permafrost could be restricted to the Arctic.

I've got a fence in need of repair. Will you be available, say, next Tuesday?

as it has throughout other cycles in the past.

Has anyone claimed otherwise?

What do you think about the horsey, and other things?

Well, I say clone him, by gum.
It's the right thing to do.

Is that what I think? Or did you somehow spin my words to reach that conclusion? As it pertains to "global warming", I simply said I don't know either way. The term itself is quite vague and could encompass many things, but lets just say I have an open mind about it. But I'm also not naive enough to believe certain things -- but that is an entirely different discussion.

I'm just wondering how this turned into a global warming thread


So Mr.Phage, Did the little pony appear due to global warming?

The term global warming is not ambiguous. It means the temperature of the globe is rising.

'm just wondering how this turned into a global warming thread

Yes. You asked and I answered.

So Mr.Phage, Did the little pony appear due to global warming?

Yes.

I am curious about DNA testing that may be done on the horsey remains.

Maybe a direct ancestor of our domesticated horses.... or it may be a different line that disappeared altogether.

So by your logic no new glaciers should ever form anywhere right? Wildfires are melting the permafrost too.

No. A rise in average global temperatures does not mean nowhere will ever be cold.

Wildfires are melting the permafrost too.

Probably not. I don't think tundra burns very hot for long enough to do so.

Do you believe it to be a natural cycle or human made disaster?

a reply to: highvein

I get really tired of repeating this. I should write a macro.

I think that rising CO2 concentrations which are the result of the combustion of fossil fuels is the primary cause of global warming. I think that global warming results in changing climates across the entire planet.

Do you think the wholes in the Ozone is letting in more heat from the sun?

a reply to: highvein

No. Yes, and no. Ultraviolet light doesn't heat the atmosphere. Thinning ozone allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the surface. But that does not lead to heating. Infrared does. CO2 reduces the amount of infrared radiation which escapes back to space and that's the problem.

Maybe the more evil people are the more the earth heats up and the less evil people are it will cool down. That theory holds just as much weight as your theory.

a reply to: libertytoall

What Phage is talking about with regards to increasing Co2 levels and their effects on global temperatures isn't theoretical, it's established science fact.

This short (2:36m) video explains it perfectly;

The video shows how carbon dioxide (CO2) traps and absorbs the Earth's heat, which is demonstrated by a simple laboratory experiment. The Earth emits heat in the form of infra-red rays and this video shows a simple laboratory experiment; where carbon dioxide absorbs and traps the emitted infra-red heat.

(Please disregard if I'm off the mark!)

From the article:

But sometimes thawing permafrost reveals surprises that are decidedly unpleasant. In 2016, anthrax spores that had been frozen in Siberia for 75 years revived during a stretch of unusually warm weather; the subsequent "zombie" anthrax outbreak killed more than 2,000 reindeer and sickened over a dozen people.

A little scary, to me, to think of what else may be uncovered in the future.
Scary and exciting I suppose.
