There's an article in the news today about a couple of climate-modelling experts who claim that they now know how the last planetary cooling some 13,000 years ago occurred. They blame it all on a flow of icy melt-water from a huge glacier covering most of Canada, flowing northwest along what's now called the MacKenzie River valley, into the Arctic Ocean, interfering with normal heat-transfer patterns in the oceans.
It's a partly-hypothetical but fascinating tale, which only leaves out one key detail: neither of these eminent eggheads tells us where that huge Canada-covering ice sheet came from in the first place....did a previous climate change cause it? Was our planet knocked out of its place within the ecosphere temporarily for a few thousand years? Did all that occur when something came
into our system and punctured Mars' crust, destroying its environment and leaving only a mostly-bared core of its former self? Is that what happened, Professor? - What do you mean, "We're not sure..." Where are all the Resident Know-it-alls when a guy needs one or two? What do you mean, "They've all gone to vote."? Do you actually believe you've got a monopoly on Know-it-alls?
And in the immortal words of that great philosopher Anonymous, "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal." It says so, right here....
