I love how all this data is based on 149 years of study. How old is the earth. How can they compare 149 years to a few Billion?

[ewelin]

well do you know of any records that date back that far on when ice out was :-P LMAO.

Anything that leads me to believe that our land in Kennebunk (currently 2 miles from the ocean) will one day be oceanfront makes me happy. I can see myself now, sitting on the lawn in a bathing suit in February yelling at the tourists to get the heck off my lawn! :lol:

If that's the case we're going to have to move further north :-P :sled:

You maybe, I'm not living one step further north than that piece of land....and the second home is going to be below the Mason Dixon. So, you had best get started on making your millions if you want a 3rd place further north. :P

I'm waiting for Ice Age II or is it III already :iPod:

I'm waiting for Ice Age II or is it III already :iPod:give it another 20,000 years and we'll be back in another ice age. god sometimes i love my prehistory archaeology course. o and everyone pray for a volcano to erupt, because when they erupt the ash shades the earth, which lowers the temps (this is why it seems like global warming has rapidly increased lately)

Hold on let me go check. :lol: You don't agree that 150 yrs is not enough data to base a decision on.

We just had a volcano eruption... http://www.fairnet.org/Agencies/FST/PHP ... ry.php?e=2 (http://www.fairnet.org/Agencies/FST/PHPBB/weblog_entry.php?e=2)

150 years is like a short summer weekend in geology

[Tynan19]

More like a second.

[mwelin]

Is a million years better? Possibly 30 million?
