Catastrophic warming already happened in Antarctica 130,000 years ago

Antarctica would have been unrecognizable
The worst global warming nightmares all came true 130,000 years ago, done by mother nature all by herself. Most of the time the media ignores all this inconvenient catastrophe that lasted an astonishing ten thousand years.  New research suggests almost all the Ross Ice Shelf melted and large parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared too, yet somehow Emperor penguins survived. So did the seals and the whales, and there was no tipping point that broke the planet. But the Hunter-gatherer beach clubs of 131,000 years ago were all washed away.

A new study looked at dust in Antarctic ice cores and noticed there was an ominous shift 120,000 years ago. In other periods the ice core had a layer of fine dust that seems to have traveled all the way from South American volcanoes. But when the Earth last warmed out of the depths of the ice age 130,000 years ago, a different type of coarse grainy dust appeared in the ice core they dug out. Normally big grains don’t travel far on the wind, so this implied that it was coming from a close volcanic source. And while there are plenty of volcanoes on Antarctica, they are normally buried under ice and their dust doesn’t spread. This meant the icesheets must have melted so far that the volcanoes were exposed.

The isotopic fingerprint of the fine dust matched dust from volcanoes in South America. But the large grained dust matched rocks in McMurdo Sound in the West Antarctic Rift area.

We already knew things must have been dramatic in Antarctica at the time because sea levels were so much higher. There are remnants of corals up to 9 meters higher near Kalbarri in Western Australia, a stable part of very old crustal plate.

That explains the lack of polar bears.

Also, there was no Aquanet 130,000 years ago, so they can't blame hairspray.

In the last 60 years, we have had one supposed threat after another, all contrived by lunatic scientists pushing a narrow view agenda, none of which actually manidested in reality.

According to Al Gore, we were to have ended survival as we know it on a number of dates that have come and gone, life much the same.  I went a couple years ago to the beach on the Atlantic coast, and I did not see any less beach than was there 20 years prior.  The shore appeared as it was when I was last there. 

The Obamas are not losing sleep on their multi-million dollar property fronting the Atlantic Ocean.  I always enoyed the total hypocrisy of that clown when he bought beachfront property.  Why, one would think he would be concerned about being under water.  But hey, the grift continues!!!!!

This so called science has zero credibility on events of 130,000 years ago.  ZERO!!!!!!

They have enough money to flee their multi-million dollar property should a storm arise.  They have no worries.
