In another thread there is a rant going on about the thrustworthiness of the experts about global warming. Let's investigate one of those unrefuted pillars, the ice age, to be more precieze, the termination of the last glaciation and the Younger Dryas.
Then what is the http://encyclopedia.lockergnome.com/s/b/Younger_Dryas
The discovery of the younger dryas in the GISP ice cores of Greenland was a major contributor to the global warming notion.
I intend to show in a fallacy free way just by combining other peer reviewed information -not even making conclusions - just showing the evidence- that the Younger Dryas was something completely different despite this broad general consensus and that it has nothing to do with global warming - greenhouse effect.
Then what is the http://encyclopedia.lockergnome.com/s/b/Younger_Dryas
The Younger Dryas stadial, named after the alpine / tundra wildflower Dryas octopetala, and also referred to as the Big Freeze, was a brief cold climate period following the Bölling/Allerød interstadial at the end of the Pleistocene, and preceding the Preboreal of the early Holocene.
The Younger Dryas saw a rapid return to glacial conditions in the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere between 12,900 – 11,500 years before present (BP) in sharp contrast to the warming of the preceding interstadial deglaciation. Thermally fractionated nitrogen and argon isotope data from Greenland ice core GISP2 indicates that the summit of Greenland was ~15ºC colder than today during the Younger Dryas. In the UK, coleopteran (fossil beetle) evidence suggests mean annual temperature dropped to approximately -5ºC, and periglacial conditions prevailed in lowland areas, while icefields and glaciers formed in upland areas. Nothing of the size, extent, or rapidity of this period of abrupt climate change has been experienced since.
