"700,000 years ago (Climate Change) led to hotter, drier conditions in South Africa and h. heidelbergensis' evolutionary response to those changes eventually gave rise to Homo sapiens."

And we're still here in 2022. 700,000 years ago AOC would have said we only had twelve years left. Imagine that, Climate Change 700,000 years ago caused global temperatures to rise. Few cows were farting at the time, no trains, planes, or automobiles and almost no fossil fuels. No businesses spewing CO2 into the atmosphere. No nothing, and yet the Earth warmed and gave rise to Home sapiens and the spread of civilizations around the planet.

But the first Neandertal was walking around at that time. Here he is predicting the rise of the oceans when Noah sailed in his Ark.

Evolution is dumber than shit.

You believe a prokaryote evolved into a eukaryote some 3 billion years ago, but only once ... never again. Yet evolution is all about randomness of very large probabilities. So shouldn't that very basic precursor to all other life happen over and over again? Many times? To be probable enough to happen at all? Once in 3 billion years is so improbable that it's impossible (statistical anomalies of orders of 10^60th power or greater are deemed impossible).

But let's not stop there.

You're telling me that humans, with our big brains, took 600,000 out of 700,000 years to figure out how to:

  • Start a fire
  • Make a clay pot
  • Make clothes
You're dumber than shit.

Ohh and extra credit for dumbshits.

All living proteins are right handed. Left handed proteins are toxic and will kill you.

Figure that one out if proteins are supposed to be naturally created by accidental lightning strikes of tars or some dumb shit.

Homo heidelbergensis (suspected to be the progenitors of both Neanderthals and modern humans) "They were able to do so because our planet's elliptical orbit created wetter, more habitable climate conditions at that time to support the expansion"
 
Check it out, we've got some classic denier retardation here making yet another appearance.

"DERP! DERP! DERP! Climate change happened naturally in the past, so humans can't change climate! DERRRRRRRRRP!"

That's the same logic as saying "Forest fires used to always be natural, so humans can't cause forest fires."

It's staggeringly stupid logic to embrace, therefore every denier embraces it. That cult self-selects for stupidity. If you're not a moron, you get ejected from the cult.

Yes and no. It is far from pure random. What it does is take the natural variability and amplify it as well as filter it based on how "useful" any given mutation proves to be.

of very large probabilities. So shouldn't that very basic precursor to all other life happen over and over again?

May very well have.

How long has it taken your dog, living around all the technology in your home, to invent a computer?

Actually that's kind of a cool area of investigation. It appears that some mineral surfaces (which would have been useful in pre-biotic chemistry) have a preference for adsorption by only ONE chirality of the molecules. There's some studies out there about carbonates and clay mineral surfaces and a preferential adsorption that may have led to life being handed in one direction.

Kind of strong evidence for abiogenesis.
 
It's more like the geologic record is littered with warming trends that were caused by natural fluctuations that weren't by CO2 or orbital forcing so why dismiss those natural factors for the recent warming trend.

As well as cases where warming may be tied to increased CO2.

The important thing to remember is that greenhouse gases like CO2 are responsible for the earth's surface temperature being higher than it would if they were not present. O2 and N2 have little to no ability to absorb IR so the atmosphere without greenhouse gases (like CO2 and H2O) would be effectively incapable of keeping the surface particularly warm.

derp, derp, derp.

Indeed.

Indeed it is the presence of an atmosphere that causes that. CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas. Water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas.
 
Well, you don't "know" anything about me. But you may have suspicions.

You would be hard-pressed though to prove the point based on the posts here.
Your last post literally proved it. That was a really stupid thing to say. Who cares that a shit load of examples of warming and cooling trends only went back 10,000 years.

What do you think caused them?
