We are currently at an overall historical low temperature here on Earth. Sure, temperatures have ticked up slightly over the last two hundred years, but overall it’s near an all time low.
During earlier eras, the planet was far greener overall as the amount of carbon dioxide (plant food) in the atmosphere was far higher. Temperatures were much warmer, so water evaporated off the oceans in higher quantities and there was far more rainfall.… read more “World History Theory”
