50,000* year old.

Further proof that the harnessing of fire by humans (some 75,000 years earlier) is responsible for the warming of the planet and the rise in sea levels.

Freakin' badass, I'd love to dive on that, not deep at all.

Why didn't you just post this in the water cooler? Lol

Ahh I thought it was interesting and being in Alabama I figured would be easier to keep this thread on first page instead of water color which right now shit gets buried quick.

Good Catch on my typo Red. I ain't mad. This thread has nothing to do with climate change support or denial. Just something cool about Alabama.

I'll see if a mod can change it.
