Climate v. Humanity
"Winter Landscape With Skaters" by, Hendrick Avercamp
Just after the beginning of the Holocene Epoch 11,700 years ago there were two Geological Events that may have helped shaped the course of humanity. "In studying the Star Carr site, the researchers learned that two events there 9,300 and 11,100 years ago resulted in temperature decreases of 10 and 4 degrees Celsius." Suggesting that humans may have proved to be more resilient to Climate Change then once thought. While a professor from Georgetown University in the article is also quoted as believing that the Starr Carr study “....has great significance for our understanding of anthropogenic global warming;" He is way off the mark. However you can read more here at (CNN) 11,000 years ago, our ancestors survived abrupt climate change
The last time we had a series Solar Flare Events powerful enough to cause real problems here on Earth was 1859. This event caused Telegraph Lines and Offices to catch fire. Known as the Carrington event, A Super Solar Flare which took place on Thursday Morning September 1st, 1859 also gave us Brilliant Auroras which brightened Pre Dawn Skies. Researchers believe it was the biggest Geomagnetic Storm to take place in 500 years. While there have been lessor Geomagnetic Events since the Carrington Event we could be overdue for another powerful Geomagnetic Storm. Earth Protective Magnetic Field is Weakening 10 Times Faster Now and another Carrington Event could be devesting for all things electronic.
Climate Change happens. And when it does it affects many species including humans. Early Humans like the Neanderthals our closest extinct human relatives were no exception. ""Dr Vasile Ersek, the co-author of the study and a senior lecturer in physical geography in Northumbria University's Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences, explained that the Neanderthals were species closest to ours and lived for some 350,000 years. However, they became extinct after the last Ice Age and shortly after the arrival of humans in Europe." Read the full article; Climate change, Ice cold temperatures behind extinction of Neanderthals. By the way. If you have any friends that remind you of the Neanderthals it may be good advice not to show them this article.

Weather, 11 March Climate v. Humanity
Here we may look at some interesting research and a variety of other topis and or events which pit Humanity against Earths Climate as well as Mother Earth. Events such as Volcano's, Earthquakes, Forrest and Brushfires as well as other Catastrophic Events which may have had an affect on Mankind are all fair game here. Such happenings in the past along with Current Events may give us a glimpse into what may be in store for us in the future. Archives
