<p>What do you mean no evidence?<p>Do you understand sea levels rise when it is warmer and fall when it is colder?<p>In our very recent history, sea levels were 10 meters higher than they are now, that means in our very recent history it was significantly warmer than now. back when the nile was the green cradle of humanity.<p>From here the only way is colder - enough ice formed in the last few thousand years to drop the sea level by 10 meters, and even if it did warm and melt enough ice to rise the sea levels back to 10m higher than now, Penguins already survived it. We will to.<p>going back to 2 miles of ice above your fav city puts us back in the era passing bible stories verbally (but at least we know now they will use gaza and tel aviv instead of soddom and gommah).<p>Oh, and btw, the decline in the Penguin population is almost certainly China overfishing, do you have any idea how huge Antarctica is?<p>But don't let a few facts stand in the way of you believing what you read in the local tabloid.</p>

<p>The implicit question was whether you think we should endeavour to return to an ice or not.<p>Personally I'm on the not side.<p>And also<p>The only people I have seen deny climate change are the AGW idiots who think the climate has ever been stable, and who demand global action to try to put it into some sort of climatic stasis.<p>The rest of us have always accepted the SCIENTIFIC FACTS that:<p>(a) The Earth's climate has always changed and always will.<p>(b) The Earth's climate is EXTREMELY COMPLEX and cannot currently be accurately modeled in a computer.<p>(c) While humans, like EVERYTHING ELSE, have SOME effects on climate, there are plenty of other causes of change including many we probably do not know/understand. Some of these other sources, like the sun, have a far greater impact than humans.<p>(d) The Earth has been both significantly hotter and extremely cold many times in the past before there were enough humans to have had ANY effect on any of those previously very extreme changes.<p>We ALSO embrace things like the laws of economics, the record of human history, and accept basic human nature - so we:<p>(a) Believe humans will continue to advance technologically and thus we as a species become better able to deal with climate change with every passing decade, making it retrograde to go nuts trying to offset it now - even if we could, and if we could afford it, and if its happening.<p>(b) Know that far more people are dying today from other sources than from climate, and that reducing some of the deaths and suffering of people TODAY is achieved using some of those fossil fuels people like you want eliminated or made too expensive because YOU claim it will save some future persons from some imagined future horror.<p>(c) WE actually believe a pet theory should be PROVEN before we implement policies that have a negative impact on the lives of millions of people in the name of "solving" the supposed problem. In fact, we'd like to not only see the problem PROVEN to exist, but we also want to see that the proposed solution will actually work, will be the most cost-effective option, and will have the least impact upon the lives and liberty of the people who are alive today.</p>

<p>the article says 20,000 was 10% of the population
therefore the population is 180,000.<p>if "something might happen in the next 60 years to wipe out half the population" counts as making a species endangered, every species on the planet counts as endangered.</p>

<p>That is the basis for my theory.
Not being on<p>And<p>Being on but jammed look the same from the perspective of the one shooting them down.<p>Also, I wonder how resilient it is to the gps spoofing that been going on. If they managed to trick it into identifying itself as a few hundred miles from where it actually was, then very hard to know where it actually is.<p>All of which is well within Irans technical capabilities.</p>

<p>You have all rights to the code that you wrote that is not "colored" by previous code. Aka "an original work"<p>But code that is any kind of derivative of code before it contains a complex mix of other peoples rights. It can be relicensed, but only if all authors large and small agree to the terms.</p>
