    The problem is that the climate has always been in flux on this planet. It is always changing, and eventually those changes become catastrophic, for reasons that are not well understood by science.
    But without that understanding, it is impossible to tell if modern climate change is being appreciably affected by the actions of mankind, and if so, how much and in what way.

    Also, since we don't know what changes are natural, we can't be certain which ones are artificial(caused by man). This makes it difficult to accurately work to counteract climate changes induced by mankind.

    Plus, what's the point? We know that the climate changes by itself, and has been doing so since long before mankind was even around. We know those natural changes eventually become catastrophic. So even if we all completely stopped using modern technology and went back to living in the trees, the climate would continue to change. And that change will eventually become catastrophic.

    Curbing the activities of mankind will accomplish nothing.

    Additionally, there is this basic fact: The primary driver of climate is the Sun. This can be simply illustrated through logic. Remove the sun, and there ceases to be any climate at all. The earth would be a frozen ball, including all of its atmospheric gases. It wouldn't matter how much "greenhouse gas" was in the atmosphere, it would still be frozen solid.

    Atmospheric gases are, at most, secondary elements in earth's climate. The Sun is the primary element. And the sun has cycles of its own. It goes through hot and cool periods. But the effect of total insolation on overall climate is, again, not well understood, making it difficult to tell how much of climate change is caused by the sun and what is caused by various greenhouse gases.

    Stop climate change? I don't think so. Whatever we might do to mitigate changes caused by the actions of mankind are not going to affect the natural changes. Burning less oil will have no effect on the Sun.

    There certainly are a few good ones, but these days the work of your average scientist is commissioned and owned by a corporation or government, which severely restricts their direction of research, and which results are published (or applied)—even what they’re allowed to talk about.  This often amounts to fraud.

    So it makes me weary that so many people can’t distinguish between good and bad science (including most scientists gazing beyond their own field of study), and consider “scientists” to be the intellectual saviors of mankind when most of them have sold out to the highest bidder.

    is this not proof enough that science has lost it way?

    their fumbling about at cern, reviving killer viruses, gmo's, lying in scientific papers. 50 years and 50 billion in cancer 'research' and for what? Viagra!

    Morally corrupted scientists - are there any other kind?

    On average, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) will blast 1.6 billion tons of cosmic debris and plasma ploughing through space at thousands of miles per hour.  

    Starburst Foundation president and chief researcher Dr. Paul LaViolette, stated in his 1983 Ph.D. dissertation, "Galactic Explosions, Cosmic Dust Invasions, and Climate Change” the effects of such an event from the core of our universe. He termed this a “super galactic core outburst”. He also predicted large amounts of tin might be present.

    This “super galactic core outburst” may have been the source for the atmospheric dust and tin found in the ice core samples. Galactic core outbursts originate in deep space and not from our sun. These outbursts have the potential to cause unimaginable global consequences from EMPs (electro-magnetic pulse), comparable to 1,000 one-megaton hydrogen bomb detonations (1025 ergs), and ionization of the atmosphere causing ozone depletion.

    The presence of tiny tropical marine organisms found in the ice core samples could have been the result of a volcanic eruption in the ocean. CME’s have been discussed as possibly triggering volcanic activity.

    Actual fragments of this Halley’s Comet event have not been located and so the researchers have based their findings on this questionable event. It’s possible but …

    The Three Sisters’ –
    Corn, beans and squash – The Three Sisters – are grown from the northeast to the southeast, from the Plains to the southwest and into Middle America. Many Native American cultures grow corn, beans and squash, but the tradition of calling these crops the ‘Three Sisters’ originated with the Haudenosaunee   (Iroquois) – ‘The People of The Longhouse’. ‘The corn, the bean and the squash are three loving sisters who must always live together to be happy.’ The older sister is tall and graceful, the next younger loved to twine about her and lean for strength upon her. The youngest rambled at the feet of her sisters and protected them from prowling enemies. When the moon drops low and the summer night is lit only by the mysterious light of the stars, these three sisters come forth in human form wearing their green garments and decked in blossoms. They have been seen dancing in the shadows, singing to their mother earth, praising their father sun and whispering words of comfort to mankind. And men to show gratitude, call the three sisters Dyonheyko, ”they who sustain our lives”.’    Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legend

    ‘Three Sisters Gardening’                      
    A traditional three sisters’ garden forms a community of plants, bugs and animals – an ecosystem – that lasts for the growing season. It does not use ploughing and relies on the natural relationships between corn, beans and squash. This relationship is a form of companion planting. The tall stems of the corn will support the vine-like climbing beanstalks, and the beans will in return convert atmospheric nitrogen to a form that becomes available to the hungry corn. The large leaves of the squash plants act as a ground- covering weed-suppressing mulch – a living mulch – that also helps in reducing evaporation of soil moisture. Three sisters ‘gardens are planted using small round mounds or hills. These mounds slow down the flow of water and help hold the soil in place, unlike planting in rows, which can channel rainwater and can cause soil erosion. Growing corn, beans and squash together will also attract beneficial insects that prey on those that are destructive; this is a method known as biological control. Three sisters gardening will create a fertile soil that encourages strong healthy plant growth. Strong healthy plants are more able to resist disease, and damage from insect pests that may otherwise destroy them.

    Hi, I’m Steve and I am interested in traditional Native American gardening crops and techniques and have in the past planted up various 3 sisters gardens.

    It is not Basque region (where does that come from?). It is Basque country, because all the translations, Pays Basque (France), Basqueland (German), Pais Vasco (Spain), come from the basque one, Euskal Herria, which actually means town of the basque people.

    The Basque region (country is a mistranslation from the French word pays) is NOT "located between Spain and France". It IS in Spain and France,

    Andorra is located between Spain and France.

    What a bunch of nonsense. Altamira is NOT in Vizcaya/Bizkaia nor even in the Basque region (country is a mistranslation of the French word pays). Altamira is in the Cantabria region and they don't speak Basque there. Now stop making things up.

    Lookin' at the Shigir Idol markings [here http://siberiantimes.com/PICTURES/SCIENCE/Big-Shigir-Idol/inside%20faces...

    It's 11000 years old full o' zigzags-cum-zigzaggy extended *limbs* hidden faces posin' as genitalia etc some o' which faces might be construed as havin' a certain triangularity akin to the triangular nosed profile seemingly hidden on the Vulture Stone

    All seeing good Se, in today's Albanian word She means sees (Ai she - He seesO.

    Aferdita (Aphrodita); word Afer means close (eja afer - come loser). Word Dita means day (mire dita - good day). Aferdita (Aphrodita) means close to day or close to day light. The planet Venus can be seen close to day light; hence the name Aferdita (Aphrodita). Aferdita is a common female Albanian name.

    In today's Republic of Macedonia (or FYROM as some call it) one of the major languages spoken is a Slavic language, very similar to the Bulgarian language. The other language spoken is the Albanian language.

    Actually I just read that Garcia is a Castilianized version of the Basque last name Garziandia.

    Comment Author: Genezareth Berrocal

    Arrambide is definitely Basque. I assume you meant Garcia? Which I think is Castilian. Trevino sounds Galician to me, so you may have almost all of Norther Spain. Basque last names usually end in the suffix -iz, -aga, -ea, -ain, -txe, and -oa.

    The book will be published by the end of this month, beginning of next month. We will let everyone now once it does. The arrangement with the author was to publish a few stories up to a point, not the whole book.

    Good point, Nathan. The historical cases point to alcoholism as a factor, which would have much the same effect. The person doesn't feel the initial burning and are overcome by smoke inhalation.

    PBS had a very good documentary on SHC, it may have been an episode of Nova.

    It’s terrible that all governments around the world allow for the destruction of these ancients sites. There is no respect any more. Let the site alone and move your company to a new area. Repect the country and their legends.
