You aren't on the right side of history.

That's very interesting, you're in a country very busy trying to erase history from schools, or at least the inconvenient bits.
So how can we rely on you to know what the right side is?

Aren't you the one that just tried to tell me Noah built his Ark decades in advance of a storm he somehow had warning about?
not picking at anyone's religious beliefs, but ...
if you accept that Noah built an Ark, then why baulk at God giving him advanced notice ?
"Hoffen wir mal, dass alles gut geht !"

I am personally not a religious person and believe that religions have utilized folklore loosely based on true story to create a base. It's a bit like the current climate change crowd.
I do believe Noah's Ark possibly existed. I don't think it held 2 of every animal. I think it may have been large enough to hold Noah's best breeding animals, a small barge by today's standards. Noah successfully evacuated his own farm during the great flood. Religion retold the story better. The same is true of climatologists today.
Did everybody miss that Robert Ballard link I posted about the great flood?
Brimmer, on the subject of denialism, I know he isn't your president but your kind denies the much more obvious (than CO2 warming) fact that Joe Biden has dementia. Until you can admit to such an obvious fact your credibility stands at zero.

I'm impressed by the way you're able to link ancient Semitic shipbuilding with climatology.

It would help to get your sophisticated ideas across if you expressed them in more coherent prose. I won't even try to read that a second time.
But Joe kind of is our president too, whether we like it or not.

Weird comment considering the Trudeaus slept with the elephant, Castro.
If you deny the obvious including Joe Biden's dementia how can we trust your opinion on other subjects?
Your climatology comments remind me of Dara O'Brien's dentist vs toothiologist joke.

Tom, it sounds like it was a stupendous disaster in the hub of civilization. Our most significant event in our history involved 400 feet of sea level rise yet is hardly remembered. Now we may expect 70 feet. This seems to hardly be existential or unprecedented.

Weird comment considering the number of nations the US has militarily invaded in its history! I seem to recall something about stones and glass houses.
(To be absolutely clear, nobody had group sex with a pachyderm in Cuba on that notorious trip. Notorious only to some Yanks.)

Some leaps of logic are so stupendously world class all you can do is stand back and admire them.
But now you've told me about my Biden blind spot I suddenly get why I've been having so much trouble putting my pants on since inauguration day! Do you have advice for that, or should I ask my weekly QAnon
I look forward to more trip reports from your personal visits to prehistory; it all ties in neatly to the original question dik asked
(am I doing the emoticon thing right?)

I had earlier posted where the US had advanced a new funding bill for climate change. I was really surprised and I thought it was great. Unfortunately there are a lot of 'really bad strings' attached. It's not at all in the right direction.

It seem obvious that with climate change the chances for extreme climate increases also. I wonder if there are any engineers or statisticians working for insurance companies and how they are dealing with this. I wonder if FM Global has anyone working on new standards for design loadings?

Ask the US DOD; they take climate change seriously.

Tom,.the Black Sea flood may have been quite cataclysmic as there may have been some geographic features that allowed sea level to rise above the area of the black Sea that have way and allowed the flooding to happen rapidly.

rb1957,
PET never had many friends in Quebec, and even fewer in one province between there and BC.
