Secret history of Climate Change
The news has everyday new
items on nature disasters everywhere.
Our heart is bleeding for the
many people who have lost
lives and existence in the
disaster of nature.
On the other hand the news is
pushing inside our heads
the fear for climate change.
Climate Change has been made
into Secret History.
We are forced to believe
things under the
authorative pressure of science.
Nevertheless science is also a
believe system
and many times influenced by
economical and political power groups.
Susan and Robert agree upon
the following:
We are using the resources of
this planet in the wrong way.
Respect for Mother Earth is what
we need to survive.
There has to be a worldwide
movement of Respect.
We can only live a worthy live
when we start loving the Mother.
The climate on
this planet is definitively ALWAYS changing.
Central in the
discussion should be the existence of Ice Ages.
RObert has made an
overview of the 1,000,000 years of history behind us.
The discussion is
(on purpose?) made more difficult because of the jargon
of the geologists.
There is no unity in names,
so in this overview
I am using the Dutch scientific names
of the Ice Ages.
After some extra study I will try to add
more widely used
names.
The Ice Age was
world wide, whatever the name is that is being used!
I am also using
calibrated scientific dates!
1. The Bavelien ice
age dated 1,000,000 until 880,000BC
Several periods of
heavy cold were in this period.
As far as we know
there was no warm period in between the two ice ages.
2. Cromerien ice
age dated from 880,000 until 470,000 BC
In this period were
also several periods of extreme cold.
Also after this Ice
Age there was no warmer period.
During the last
years of this Ice Age
humans immigrated
into Europe.
As far as we know
never before humans lived in Europe.
3. The Elsterien
ice age dated from 470,000 until 410.000 BC
From this Ice Age we
kno that the ice covered the North of Europe
with the ice
reaching into the Netherlands (the province of Friesland).
4. The warm
interglacial period Holsteinien lasted from 410,000 until 380,000 BC
Trees and forests
could grow again.
5. The Saalien ice
age from 380,000 until 126,000 BC
was the heaviest
ice age of all.
The ice covered
with a layer of 200 meters thick
half of the
Netherlands and Germany halfways until the Sauerland.
This ice age has
shaped the landscape of Northern Europe
into what it is
now.
Human life was
almost not possible and the humans
lived as much as
possible in caves.
From this time on
the humans in Europe start using
abstract figures to
note down their thoughts!
Symbolic writing as
for example the symbolic hieroglyphs!
The Ice layer was at the edges
200 meters high.
When our forefathers had the
idea for a daytrip to go and see the Ice,
they could see the Ice layer
on the horizon as a range of high hills.
6. The interglacial period
Eemien lasted from 126,000 until 116,000 BC
The temperatures were much warmer
then it is today.
The average summerday was 19
degrees Celsius!
During this Eemien
the Neanderthal humans emerge.
They don't survive
the coming ice age Weichselien.
7. The last ice age
until now was the
Weichselien ice age
from 116,000 until 10,000 BC.
There were no trees
anymore.
Polar desert
everywhere.
From 13,000 BC some
brave humans settled again in the empty land.
From 11,800 BC the
growth of trees is coming back.
In the polar desert
heavy winds blew the soil around the Earth.
Well known is the
Löss soil the blew from Europe into China.
From 11000BC until 4400BC the
sea level was rising
at a speed of about 35 meters
in total.
8. The interglacial
warm period we are living in is called Holoceen.
From 10,000 until
7000 BC the ice is melting away.
The Atlantic Ocean
is frozen until Scotland till 8000 BC.
Between 8,000 and
7,000 BC the North Sea is inundated again
and the connection
between England and Europe is water again.
The period from
7,000 until 1100 BC is much warmer then it is now.
The water level is
still 15 meters lower then it is now.
From 1100 BC until
900 AD it is still warmer then it is now,
averidge 1 degree
Celsius more then today.
From 900 AD until 1300
AD the temperature is much higher the today.
In this period we
see:
Norse settlement of
Greenland and Canada.
Cathedral Building
going on in France.
Hanseatic League at
great power.
A major volcanic eruption ends
this period of warmth in 1258 AD.
There are heavy storms and it
is becoming much colder.
This does not mean that
volcanic eruptions are
the cause of climate change,
but it is part of it.
1350AD is the end of the Norse
settlement of Greenland and Canada,
because the ocean is freezing
and the Viking ships can't sail anymore.
1469 AD is the end of wine
cultivation in England.
The so called Little Ice Age
has started around 1300 AD.
Dutch paintings are filled
with snow landscapes and ice skaters.
People started heating their
houses,
the windows became smaller and
cities were giving laws that
everybody
should build a chimney inside
the house.
Many big city fires happened
in that time of 1400AD until 1500AD,
when it became colder and
colder.
1580 AD is the eruption of
Huanyaputina in Peru.
The temperature drops world
wide.
1739-1742 is extreme cold.
also 1805-1820 is extreme
cold.
We all know the story of the
downfall of Napoleon,
because of the heavy winter in
Russia.
The Tambora eruption in 1815 causes
in 1816 a year without summer.
Since 1880 the Earth is
warming again.
Still it is nowadays cooler
then in the Medieval Warm period
from 900 until 1300 AD.
It is also much cooler then in
the Eemien interglacial period.
So we are living in a so
called Interglacial time,
the warm period inbetween two
Ice Ages.
More precise:
We are the lucky
ones living in the hottest middle of the Interglacial time!
Perhaps the temperature will
rise even more to the levels
of the former interglacial period the Eemien
(see above).
Our forefathers have lived
through several Ice Ages,
but it has been difficult.
Archeology finds them living
deep in the Earth in caves.
In the Tropics you could be
outside but heavily clothed.
Very probably the destruction
of the Atlantis civilization
is connected with the last
period of melting of the Ice.
The sea levels rose fast and
dramatically,
almost certainly connected
with earth quakes and local volcanism.
The thin bottom of the oceans
must have been reacting
to the enormous extra weight of the water
layer.
The island of Atlantis
collapsed in these circumstances.
The rise of Reformation and
Protestantism
also could have to do with the climate change
of the very cold period 1300AD
until 1800AD.
Anyway:
this secret
history of climate change
should warn us
to prepare for the next Ice Age,
that will be
here in may be 6000 years.
Important questions:
Did the Sun gave less energy
during the Ice Ages?
Is the number of sunspots
connected with the global temperature?
How much influence do the
volcanoes have?
Are the currents in the Arctic
Ocean of great influence?
How to survive the heavy cold,
when all the fuel of the Earth has been used?
What to burn when all forests
have been cut away?
Will there be enough oxygen
when a big part of the Earth is covered in Ice?
