How old were the 2.5 mile thick glaciers covering Chicago in the past 20k-5 million years?

This is where the climate debate is now stuck.

Every piece of land within 600 miles of a pole is in ice age, everything outside of that is not. Nobody has attempted to dispute that. It is the clear truth of Earth today.

Milankovitch Cycles, which I call McBullshit Cycles, take a very "Dennis Quaid" approach to ice ages - they are lightning fast, quick, and agile. They come and go really fast.

Since 2010, Milankovitch has replaced "North American Ice Age" with the claim that the ice on Chicago recently that was 2.5 miles thick was only 75k years old.

Really....

My side, which is just me now, since all of the pre 2010 reports on North American Ice Age online have been "canceled" and replaced by McBullshit, is that North America was covered with Ice Age glacier down to Chicago and beyond for 30-50 million years.


So we have a dispute, a healthy thing for SCIENCE...

What is the EVIDENCE???


1. LIFE

Any evidence of LIFE on Chicago for the past 50 million years .... NO

Any evidence of LIFE on Greenland.... YES


The DNA is proof that sometime between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, much of Greenland was especially green and covered in a boreal forest that was home to alder, spruce and pine trees, as well as insects such as butterflies and beetle




So it is fair to say that the ice covering Greenland started up north in the past 2 million years, got to the middle of Greenland 400-800k years ago, and flushed out the Vikings in the 1400s on the southern tip, since when the Vikings found the Southern Tip of Greenland, they called it GREENland because it was green and were able to farm there for centuries before the Greenland ice age pushed them off...


Any evidence of life on Antarctica?


This Cretaceous period dinosaur lived about 70 million years ago, towards the end of the Mesozoic Era. A bipedal, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur (a sauropod) was discovered in the Antarctic interior by William R. Hammer and his team in late 2003.


For the record, prior to 2010 nobody disputed that Antarctic ice was at least 40 million years old. McBullshit disputes that completely...


2. Speed of ice age glacier

Indeed, the data from Greenland above is the best data we have, since it is recent and conclusive. It took Greenland's ice age somewhere between 500k years and 2 million years from its beginning at the northern part of Greenland to get to where it is now.


That is WAY SLOWER than McBullshit suggests.


3. size of the glacier

Greenland's ice is not yet 2 miles thick anywhere. Below the Arctic Circle, Greenland's ice is under 1 mile thick.

Hence the claim of 2.5 mile thick glacier on Chicago being 75k years old is, well, NOT SUPPORTED BY DATA POINT GREENLAND at all.

Antarctica has 2.5 mile thick glacier. There is a dispute over the age of those too. McBullshit claims it is not that old and that while sitting on the South Pole Antarctica has frozen and thawed over and over like Dennis Quaid claimed in the movie "Day After Tomorrow"

4. ice cores


The oldest continuous ice core records to date extend 123,000 years in Greenland and 800,000 years in Antarctica. Ice cores contain information about past temperature, and about many other aspects of the environment


And hence it is fair to say that the 2.5 mile thick glacier on Antarctica is WAY OLDER than 75k years... to put it mildly.

Even the Greenland ice is way older than that too, and it has yet to get to 2 miles thick



5. tectonic plate movement

Reiny recently claimed Greenland is part of North America. Not on my map. But it is on the SAME TECTONIC PLATE moving on the same vector because of the angle of the fault in the North Atlantic



That fault has pushed Greenland NW and Europe SE for tens of millions of years, and hence explains why all of Europe's glaciers are melting while Greenland went into ice age. It was also pushing North America NW until NA got to its closest point to the pole, and then NA started moving SW on the SAME VECTOR on a SPHERE...

Accepting the 600 miles to the pole = your land entered an ice age

North America would have been in ice age for 30-50 million years, and would have been where Greenland is today 30-50 million years ago. The accepted date of that prior to 2010 was 50 million years...




Hence, the evidence that the glaciers on Chicago 2.5 miles thick were 75k years old is contrary to ALL DATA ON ICE AGES AND GLACIERS on the planet today.

The ice cores prove glaciers 2.5 miles thick TODAY are WAY OLDER than 75k years.

So is McBullshit wrong??


To me that is shockingly obvious. McBullshit is about fudging climate history after homO went silent

What's "really fast"?

Since 2010, Milankovitch has replaced "North American Ice Age" with the claim that the ice on Chicago recently that was 2.5 miles thick was only 75k years old.


You can't find a book or an online source that has the "real" info?
Were all those old books burned?

Apparently so. With billions $$$ to spend on a Co2 fraud, some must have been spent erasing/re-writing such.

But that is noise. One side claims X, the other side Y.

In science, to settle such a dispute, we use something called DATA, provided in the OP....


And yes, the censorship of North American Ice Age does date to homO's silence, but IMAGES are still online...

Which images say there was ice on Chicago for 50 million years?

This one above has the "glacial maximum" which is clearly way past Chicago. Amazingly enough, that "glacial maximum" would be where my version of North American Ice Age would put glaciers after perhaps 10 million years from origin in northern Canada. It retreated as North America moved SW...

Why does "glacial maximum" prove your 50-million-year claim?
Why does it disprove the most recent 75,000-year-old glacier on Chicago was thick?

As North America moves SW away from the North Pole, the latitude which would melt the ice age glacier would move "north" on that land - really the same latitude on a moving continent.


Why does it disprove the most recent 75,000-year-old glacier on Chicago was thick?

It suggests the North American Ice Age was way longer than 75k under the thesis of which latitude melts the glacier...

You keep making claims, you never post evidence.

That's the reason this topic was started. You will always claim "no evidence" when the EVIDENCE is posted right above...

Now, instead of lying, try refuting.... if you can, which you know you cannot...

You posted no evidence of your claims above.

North America would have been in ice age for 30-50 million years,

^This is a claim, it isn't evidence.

It is a claim backed up by evidence, much evidence, all posted above....

The evidence

1. 600 miles to a pole = ice age
2. the actual tectonic plate movement
3. the clear truth that North America was in ice age until very recently, while Greenland was not in ice age until very recently but now is

You do not like that EVIDENCE, but that is EVIDENCE and endlessly lying about it doesn't change THAT TRUTH

4. how old is a 2.5 mile high glacier

Post some evidence. Maybe from someone who made the claim before 2010?

Laughable. Why don't you try to refute the EVIDENCE in the OP? You can't.

So you pull your usual K### routine...

So "evidence" is only PARROTING, not DATA, not tectonic movement, not ice cores, not glacial thickness, not Greenland's ice data and movement.... no ONLY PARROTING is "evidence"

Does Toddster wanna cracker??

Einstein, how did you come up with Relativity?

Well, um, I parroted it from someone else of course..... NOT.
 
No .. this is where you're stuck ... [yawn] ... take a few science classes at your local community college ... that should expand your horizons some ...


Still waiting for anyone here to actually REFUTE anything posted. When you cannot do that, you do drive-bys and trolling like you and Toddster.

This is the entire question the Co2 fraud cannot answer

How did Co2 melt North America and freeze Greenland at the same time??

Jeopardy! music still playing.

Run along unless you have a serious argument to make here...

There is no EVIDENCE in the OP that North America was in an ice age for 30-50 million years.

So "evidence" is only PARROTING, not DATA

You have no evidence, no data and no one who agreed with your claims.

The OP is clearly packed with evidence DATA and analysis.

What is Toddster's "evidence?"

Toddster PARROTS McBullshit and provides no other evidence or data or analysis...

A 2.5 mile thick glacier is 75k years old.

LOL!!!

It is absolutely amazing this obvious lie gets past anyone with an IQ over 10...

Sweet!

Show the data that said 30-50 million years.

You just missed the cutoff.
