Comments on: Extinctions Increase with Global Warming http://blogs.edf.org/climate411/2007/11/12/mass_extinctions/ Blogging the science and policy of global warming Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:13:20 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: Jim Welch http://blogs.edf.org/climate411/2007/11/12/mass_extinctions/comment-page-1/#comment-606 Jim Welch Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:23:29 +0000 http://blogs.edf.org/climate411/2007/11/12/mass_extinctions/#comment-606 This blog is offered to pose the question, "Is global warming related to "The Great Flood" that has been documented in so many of mankind’s ancient texts?" Maybe mankind has already seen global warming before as described by Noah and others around the world. I saw one documentary last week that said the melting of Greenland and the polar ice caps could raise the sea level by 30 feet. If I lived 8000 years ago and saw the oceans rise 30 feet in a matter of years, I too would write about "The Great Flood". I’m not trying to be an alarmist or postulate if global warming is manmade or naturally occurring but perhaps we should read the stories from our ancestors again to better understand how much the oceans may rise and how quickly.
