There are claims even among Global Warming supporting
meteorologists that the present European droughts and heatwaves
are merely features of a recurrent 60 yr(?) cycle. Because ironically
global warming is expected to adversly affect the Gulf Stream
and make Western Europe more subject to cold air currents from
the Central Asian landmass to the East.

Actually it's part of a 10-12,000 year cycle, but no one alive was
around for the last one, so they can't imagine time on that scale.

Ice cores from Greenland indicate that the last "little" ice age
came on in 7 years. That was the one that killed people in N. Europe,
a couple of hundred years ago.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks sends a team over to Greenland
every year to drill the ice. If anyone wants to look this stuff
up, hit the UAF website. (Probably the geophysical dept.)

People moved over here to Alaska during the last "big" ice age.
They've found tools and stuff that date to 10K YBP up near Old Crow
in the Yukon Territory, right across the present Alaska/Canada border,
up above the Yukon River. (Up the Porcupine River.)

This little blue planet will revoke our permission to live on it
any damned time it feels like it, with no advance notice. So in
the mean time, grow a nice garden and try to be kind to people.
(Unless they're idiots, twits or trolls.)
