Glacial retreat from Gulf of Mexico, was it do to early human industrialization?

Answer 1

No. Ice ages and inter-glacial periods are triggered by long-term changes in the Earth's orbit, called Milankovitch cycles. Climate scientists refer to this as "orbital forcing".

Since the Earth's orbit can be computed for thousands of years into the past and the future, we can also determine the effect of orbital forcing today. The current inter-glacial period peaked 6000 years ago, and right now orbital forcing should be slowly cooling the planet.

Answer 2

Must be since climate change is strictly caused by human interference...

I mean every one KNOWS climate change can not be natural...

The mini ice age that happened in the 1300's... I mean the industrial revolution was 500 years away, but they must have had tons of factories chugging along to cause that, right?

Pshhhh... who ever heard of the climate having cycles, or rapid climatic changes that can be easily shown with historical evidence and the archaeological record?

I mean if climate change occurred naturally people who are profiting off scarring every one like Al Gore would be lying.

And I REFUSE to believe AL Gore would lie just because he owns the biggest company selling "Carbon offsets". I mean seriously what would he have to gain except millions of dollars?

Everyone knows Al Gore is not in it for money... He LOVES mother earth, and the fact he is willing to fly all over the world in his private jet, selling his books and his completely unbiased, completely honest and "factual" movie, just proves he is not in it just for the money.

Answer 3

It was a very long time ago when we had glaciers in the Gulf of Mexico.

Answer 4

Yup.... Those early spear factories wrecked the environment.

Answer 5

No, the Mexicans kicked its butt out o there, just like they did everytime an invader came from the North.
