Humans did not cause woolly mammoths to go extinct – climate change did (University of Cambridge). In its rush to include the trendy phrase “climate change” in yet another press release, this article fails to even mention the vast numbers of mammoth bones trapped in the ice, often with organs intact.
It was climate change, they say. In today’s Big Science circles, climate change is the default explanation for everything, just like demons were in the middle ages. The Cambridge geniuses exonerate humans for hunting mammoths to extinction, but this time, they can’t blame them for past global warming.For five million years, woolly mammoths roamed the earth until they vanished for good nearly 4,000 years ago – and scientists have finally proved why.
Professor Willerslev said: This is a stark lesson from history and shows how unpredictable climate change is – once something is lost, there is no going back. Precipitation was the cause of the extinction of woolly mammoths through the changes to plants. The change happened so quickly [how? why?]that they could not adapt and evolve to survive.
Evolution is fast except when it is slow. Climate change is slow
except when it is fast. These two subjects are so similar, they must
have a common ancestor!" CEH
