The Sahara might seem like one of Earth’s most lifeless regions today, but its fossils show it was once a vast seaway filled with giant fish and some of the largest sea snakes the planet has ever seen.
From 100 million to 50 million years ago, a large seaway up to 160 feet deep covered much of West Africa, leaving behind lots of marine fossils, including vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, and microbes. Many of them were surprisingly large. It’s difficult to study this region due to harsh geopolitical and physical climates, so a group of scientists decided to compile and synthesize lots of existing research on the area. They paint a surprising picture of the ancient world during a time period that straddled the event 66 million years ago that put an end to large dinosaurs.
“The K/Pg extinction is one of the largest mass extinction events,” study author Maureen O’Leary from Stony Brook University explained to Gizmodo. “We don’t have a section in the rock record to tie in the fossils at the species level and see these intricate changes on every continent.” Data from the Trans-Saharan Seaway could fill in some blanks about how the extinction played out in an understudied part of the world.
That the western Sahara was once a waterway has long been known to those who live there; the Tuareg people have found remnants of sea life in the desert, O’Leary told Gizmodo, and the idea has been part of the paleontological discourse for over a century. During warm periods between 50 million and 100 million years ago, rising sea levels caused a waterway to develop, probably connecting the Gulf of Guinea to the Mediterranean Sea. Scientists from the United States, Mali, and Australia have analyzed fossils and sediment from three expeditions to the Sahara in Mali, and have published a bulletin detailing everything they learned so far about the region, hoping to illustrate what the ecosystem looked like.

What? So the climate was already changing? 100 million to 50 million years ago? Before Henry Ford was even born? So ‘man made’ climate change hysteria might be just a great big hoax? Might be? In their own words…
The very idea that we can stop climate change is barking mad. Climate change is inevitable, as geology has always shown.” These are the views of New Zealand lecturer of geology, David Shelley. A person vastly more competent than me and the flotilla of others telling the kids the world is going to end from global warming.

de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy…”

climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing

How about now?
Some how still not convinced? OK…
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New Deal is to overhaul the “entire economy.”
Chakrabarti said that addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez’s top priority in proposing the Green New Deal during a meeting with Washington governor Jay Inslee.
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday.
“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” he added.

How about this one example as a good comparison. Scientology and man-made climate change. The titles are different. Everything else is exactly the same…“Scientology (man made climate change) always has been a game of power and control. L. Ron Hubbard was the ultimate con man, and it’s hard to figure out how much of Scientology (man made climate change) was an experiment in brainwashing and controlling people, and how much of it was truly intended to help people.”

The situation is exactly the same here in Canada. SCAM! Now if we could only find someone who would demonstrate by both words AND deeds to be worthy of the title Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. Tell the gawd damn truth and Canadians will massively support you. But that would take courage. Putting Canada first i.e. before your own selfish political ambitions. In MY Canada the help wanted sign is still out.
