The collective ego of the far left seems to feel that if something unusual happens,we control it by our collective actions. We are told by the experts that global warming is caused by coal and other related stuff.
An example or two, I am 82 years old. In my life experience, coal stoves were in every home except those with furnaces. A few years later most switched to oil stoves. Now these radicals claim we are currently on the road to hell anyway, even with electric and gas fuels. But lets regress back to our global climate in the past.
The last Ice Age, but not the only one, affected our area, Washington and Idaho. It was labeled the Pleistocene Epoch. The last 15000 years covered our area with the Cordilleran. Ice Sheet. One result was a 300 foot drop in sea level.
As the ice crept forward , it measured about 7000 feet deep as it crossed what is now the U.S./Canadian border. It dwindled down to about 3000 at its terminus near Seattle.The Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands were terra firma. These waterways were formed as the ice sheets retreated, gouging out new routes for the soon to be islands and inlets letting ocean water to flow inland.
During the periods between ice ages, Southern Greenland became a farming community founded by Danish explorer, Lief Erickson. There is too much information for just one post, so I'll sign off for now with follow ups later.
Next up,the great flood on the Clark Fork River.
