it gets me wondering, if any planets we know of now which are too cold to inhabit could be in the middle of an ice age, and life was once there..

Mars. I dont think it will make a comeback like earth does, but Mars was allot like earth. Running rivers and oceans. Maybe life too. I guess that wasnt your question though, but still interesting. Edit: Also it "should" happen again. It has been happening for around 1 million years. We are actually over due for our next total freeze.

Try having everyone in your family piss on the floors every day and see how long it takes to poison the atmosphere to the point where if you don't leave, you die. Same idea. You can't shit and piss eternally inside a closed environment without dire consequences. Even ancient peoples LONG ago knew, you DO NOT SHIT WHERE YOU EAT. If humans had ZERO effect on their own environment like modern idiots cling so desperately to believing, then ancient peoples would have been happily eating their own shit with zero consequences instead of dropping like flies. Who would have thought that the simple concept of cause and effect would die such a miserable death in MODERN TIMES. When I grew up, we VALUED intelligence, knowledge and higher learning. Now society brags endlessly about being as dumb as leeches in mud.

"15,000 yrs ago plunging temperatures...America was inhabited for the first time" Wrong. I suspect the geo physical explanation for the creation of the Sahara may also be wrong. Did human activities shut down atmospheric rivers flowing over the Sahara savannah just as our species is close to doing in South America especially affecting the vast area south of the rapidly degrading Amazon region.

It can all be reborn with the cheapest new fusion power and desalinated water despite whatever the solar cycle serves up to us. We need enthusiasm and hard work in permaculture and the cheapest desalinated water. Our old expensive fission nuclear and fossil fuel power production power stations need to be bought into the 21st century. We all need the newest power source to be super cheap to run and this is what you need to learn about. Fusion Nuclear power is that urgently needed, super cheap, green, and 24hr stable electric supply technology that can retrofit old power stations and build new ones on any scale and on a tiny footprint, safely within our communities. Well, it is actually here already. Many plasma confinement technologies like ITER are being experimented with around the world. They are all now enormously superseded by "AUREON ENERGY LTD" and their nuclear fusion SAFIRE GENERATOR. It can react and denature old spent ex-fuel transuranic leftovers and render them safe. The regular fusion physics players believe in an ancient theory of how the sun and all stars operate, which is why they will struggle to ever make commercial power. To catch up they need to study "ELECTRIC UNIVERSE THEORY" and high energy plasma physics and its confining Birkland Currents, operating throughout space. Study all this at "THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT.com" and become a real scientist where you learn to actually throw away old theories when all the new data simply do not fit them anymore and then update all your friends and peers.

Truth isn't found in religion. Truth is found in the Living, Proven, Powerful Word of The Most High God. The Creator of Heaven and Earth. What made me first beleive in God? A real life encounter and experience with Him. I witnessed Him supernaturally perform humanly impossible things when I prayed. I was healed of demonic torment in one prayer. My mind was set free and I was no longer being tormented. You're not supposed to live your whole life wondering if God exists... You're supposed to KNOW. And there are actual ways you can tap into the pressence and fellowship of God to witness supernaturally how powerful He is. It takes a sincere heart and a desperate spirit to approach God. You must receive Salvation. Not only is it the thing you must do to experience anything from God, receiving and not receiving is quite literally the difference between life and death. Judgement is assured for the unrepentant. Those who rejected that loving call from Christ. They will be thrown into the lake of fire for an eternity of suffering, torment and pain that is incomprendable to the human brain. If you want to know how to be assured you'll be saved of the dreadful things that are about to come upon the earth and an eternity of seperation from God, please message me. Tomorrow isn't promised for any man.

If the entire earth was frozen, how did life survive without plants being able to survive? The earth yearly goes through the north changing angles to the sun, precession does not change that. This was not explained properly. 23.5 degrees has been consistent and varies about 1 degree due to nutation. Earth's obliquity oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a 41,000-year cycle with the average being what it is now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt
