First, what is an ice age? It’s when the Earth has cold temperatures for a long time – millions to tens of millions of years – that lead to ice sheets and glaciers covering large areas of its surface. We know that the Earth has had at least five major ice ages. The first one happened about 2 billion years ago and lasted about 300 million years. The most recent one started about 2.6 million years ago, and in fact, we are still technically in it. Read news coverage based on evidence, not tweets Get newsletter So why isn’t the Earth covered in ice right now? It’s because we are in a period known as an “interglacial.” In an ice age, temperatures will fluctuate between colder and warmer levels. Ice sheets and glaciers melt during warmer phases, which are called interglacials, and expand during colder phases, which are called glacials. Right now we are in the most recent ice age’s warm interglacial period, which began about 11,000 years ago. Earth’s climate goes through warming and cooling cycles that are influenced by gases in its atmosphere and variations in its orbit around the sun. What was it like during the ice age? When most people talk about the “ice age,” they are usually referring to the last glacial period, which began about 115,000 years ago and ended about 11,000 years ago with the start of the current interglacial period. During that time, the planet was much cooler than it is now. At its peak, when ice sheets covered most of North America, the average global temperature was about 46 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius). That’s 11 degrees F (6 degrees C) cooler than the global annual average today. That difference might not sound like a lot, but it resulted in most of North America and Eurasia being covered in ice sheets. Earth was also much drier, and sea level was much lower, since most of the Earth’s water was trapped in the ice sheets. Steppes, or dry grassy plains, were common. So were savannas, or warmer grassy plains, and deserts. Many animals present during the ice age would be familiar to you, including brown bears, caribou and wolves. But there were also megafauna that went extinct at the end of the ice age, like mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats and giant ground sloths. There are different ideas about why these animals went extinct. One is that humans hunted them into extinction when they came in contact with the megafauna. Excavating a mastodon skeleton at Burning Tree Golf Course in Heath, Ohio, December 1989. The skeleton, found by workers who were digging a pond, was 90% to 95% complete and more than 11,000 years old. James St. John/Flickr, CC BY Wait, there were humans during the ice age?! Yes, people just like us lived through the ice age. Since our species, Homo sapiens, emerged about 300,000 years ago in Africa, we have spread around the world. During the ice age, some populations remained in Africa and did not experience the full effects of the cold. Others moved into other parts of the world, including the cold, glacial environments of Europe. And they weren’t alone. At the beginning of the ice age, there were other species of hominins – a group that includes our immediate ancestors and our closest relatives – throughout Eurasia, like the Neanderthals in Europe and the mysterious Denisovans in Asia. Both of these groups seem to have gone extinct before the end of the ice age. There are lots of ideas about how our species survived the ice age when our hominin cousins did not. Some think that it has to do with how adaptable we are, and how we used our social and communication skills and tools. And it appears that humans didn’t hunker down during the ice age. Instead they moved into new areas. For a long time it was thought that humans did not enter North America until after the ice sheets started to melt. But fossilized footprints found at White Sands National Park in New Mexico show that humans have been in North America since at least 23,000 years ago – close to the peak of the last ice age.

The Devil and the Death Shots The United States is the only country in the world now injecting children under 5 with the COVID-19 vaccine. By Karen Hunt June 26, 2022 Iam energized. I’m angry. I’m more determined than ever to stand against this evil. What got to me was a photo of Joe Biden holding an innocent baby reaching up to touch his masked face. Biden the Idiot. The court buffoon. The puppet hobbling along, falling off his bike, staring into space, saying weird and unintelligible things, guided along by his poor little wife and his anxious handlers, setting the example for the masses so that they, too, will happily be led along. Close your eyes, shut off your mind. Yes, that photo brought it all together and made it difficult for me to contain my rage. If ever I was convinced our government leaders serve the Devil—the actual Devil—that photo brought it home. No mincing of words today. And then the headline associated the photo: “Biden visits clinic, celebrates COVID shots for kids under 5.” Celebrates. He celebrates that 17 million more children, down to the age of 6 months, are now eligible for the death shot. Six months-old, surely that will be the end of it. But you know what? They still aren’t satisfied. Those CEOs at Pfizer and Moderna, Albert Bourla and Stéphane Bancel, are in a little competition with one another. Who can inject the most babies and make the biggest profit? Moderna is wasting no time: “Moderna to Study Its Covid-19 Vaccine in Babies as Young as 3 Months,” reports the Wall Street Journal. As many as 700 infants would be enrolled to test proper doses for ages 3 months to 6 months. This evil is out of control. Where are the angels, the warriors? How does one fight against an enemy that cannot be attacked by sword or reason? Visiting the Washington, D.C. clinic where the first shots were being administered, Biden proudly proclaimed to parents: “Relief, isn’t it? Being able to do it? We’re the only country in the world doing this right now.” Turning his dead eyes on one young girl, the White House occupant said, “This is a great place for you all. We’re going to beat this thing. You’ll be able to go anywhere you want.” You’ll be able to go anywhere you want. What kid doesn’t like the sound of that? Freedom! Just like any drug pusher on the street, take this little pill and you’ll fly. Except you will always and forever be their slave. Come on just this one shot—or is it two or three or infinity? And then, who knows? Maybe when you’re 10 years old, you’ll want to change your sex, something your school will encourage you to do. By then, you’ll be so pumped full of drugs and used to it, what will be the harm of adding puberty blockers to the mix? Don’t worry, you won’t even need your parents’ permission. Shh! don’t tell them! The state will take care of you. We will oh-so-lovingly pick you apart, piece by piece, and then put you back together again, scarred and addicted to our drugs forever. Or maybe we won’t put you back together again. Maybe we will extract your organs, your cells, your DNA, your young, fresh blood, so that the elite can tinker and play with it, finding ways to live longer while you die. Think about it. All of these drugs and procedures are being approved. By the Biden puppet regime—owned by the pharmaceutical companies. They want every person in the United States to be an addict, starting at birth, or if they can achieve it, before birth. Little by little by little the public has been led to believe they cannot survive without their injections, pills, patches, and microchips. Shame on us for not stopping it sooner. Because there were plenty of opportunities to stand up and refuse if we had just paid attention. They did it with Ritalin, in 2011, lowering the age of prescription to 4 years-old. Ritalin was an important “gateway” drug easing parents into accepting governmental control of their children. Never mind that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration categorizes Ritalin in the same class of highly addictive drugs as cocaine, morphine and opium. Some severe side effects of Ritalin include: cardiovascular reactions, including sudden death, stroke, and heart attack; increased blood pressure; increased heart rate (tachycardia); psychiatric adverse reactions, including worsening of a pre-existing psychiatric condition; development of new psychotic or manic symptoms; sustained and sometimes painful erections in males; poor circulation, including Raynaud’s phenomenon; long-term suppression of growth and weight loss in pediatric patients; potential for abuse and dependence. And yet, if a psychiatrist determines that a child has a mental “disorder” (ADHD) based on a checklist of behaviors such as “loses pencils or toys,” “often does not seem to listen,” “is easily distracted by extraneous stimuli,” “fidgets” or “runs about or climbs excessively in situations when it is not appropriate” he or she may be administered this drug. Parents agreed, willingly sedating their children in order to comply with the state. We complain about injecting our children with an mRNA gene therapy. Yet, vaccines previously given to our children contained poisons like mercury, or ethylmercury (commonly known as thimerosal). A CounterPunch article in 2012 lays bare how the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), surely an organization parents should be able to trust, vehemently opposed the United Nations proposed “binding treaty to ban ethylmercury from all medications and vaccines worldwide. In the December 17, 2012, issue of Pediatrics, former AAP president Louis Cooper wrote: This despite its official position on mercury being made clear as far back as July 2001: “The developing fetus and young children are thought to be disproportionately affected by mercury exposure, because many aspects of development, particularly brain maturation, can be disturbed by the presence of mercury. Minimizing mercury exposure is, therefore, essential to optimal child health.” Isn’t it amazing how “science” changes its position to validate the agendas of powerful drug companies?

Nigerian couple charged with plotting to get child to UK to harvest organs Fri, June 24, 2022, 1:36 AM Ike Ekweremadu Nigerian politician LONDON (Reuters) - A Nigerian senator and his wife were remanded in custody in London on Thursday charged with plotting to have a 15-year-old boy brought into the United Kingdom to harvest his organs, the BBC and police said. Ike Ekweremadu, 60, and Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, were both charged with conspiracy to arrange travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting, police said. Ekweremadu is an opposition senator in the southern state of Enugu, and also a former deputy senate president. Police said they had been alerted to the alleged plan following reports made of possible offences under modern slavery legislation. The child involved has been taken to safety and work was under way to provide additional support. The couple appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in London where the court was told the child involved was a 15-year-old boy, the BBC reported. The prosecution told the court that the Attorney General's consent was required for the case to proceed because of jurisdictional issues, the BBC added, and the couple were remanded in custody until the next court appearance on July 7. Neither Ekweremadu nor his wife could be reached for comment.

And then there's this: CDC says gay and bi men in Florida need the meningococcal vaccine, to keep them safe in 'worst' outbreak in US history By Jen Christensen, CNN (CNN)Don't be surprised if you see the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention out at the LGBTQ pride parade this year or showing up on your dating app. The CDC's been trying to warn men in Florida or traveling to Florida, particularly those who identify as gay, bisexual, queer or trans, that they need to get a vaccine that can prevent them from getting meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease, including meningitis, is a bacterial infection in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis Fast Facts There is an ongoing outbreak in Florida in what the CDC describes as "one of the worst outbreaks of meningococcal disease among gay and bisexual men in U.S. history." As of Friday, there have been 26 cases and seven deaths with 24 of these cases among men who have sex with men. Six of the deaths were also a part of the LGBTQ community. Half of the cases have been in men who identify as Hispanic. The disease doesn't only impact people who identify as LGBT or Q and the illness does not seem to be connected to one particular event. The CDC is still investigating, but the outbreak is ongoing. The outbreak comes as the CDC has been tracking another unusual outbreak of monkeypox in countries where the disease is not endemic, including the United States. As of Friday, the CDC has reported 201 orthopoxvirus cases in the United States, including 16 in Florida. The threat to the general US population is low, the CDC says, but there are notably high numbers of monkeypox cases among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. "However, anyone who has been in close contact with someone who has monkeypox is at risk," the CDC notes. Associate Director for Prevention, Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases at the CDC, Sam Crowe, told CNN Friday that many of the meningococcal cases had been concentrated in Central Florida, but there are cases now throughout the state. Meningococcal disease doesn't have to be deadly. Typically two and 10 people who get the bacterial infection die, according to the CDC. But as soon as a person gets sick they need to get antibiotics right away. The CDC plans to continue doing a big publicity and education push in both English and Spanish in local newspapers, through gay media, and on social apps throughout the summer. The agency says its presence at pride events will also continue throughout the summer. On the Grindr app, the company said they are working with the CDC and Building Health Online Communities a nonprofit that supports gay men's health, to get the word out about the outbreak. Gridr said it first sent out a message about the outbreak in April and then sent a second message two weeks ago to their users in Florida. One message warns users that gay and bi men in Florida are at increased risk for meningococcal disease and to seek immediate attention if they feel any symptoms like a stiff neck, headache or severe flu-like symptoms. Another gives a push for the vaccine. People may not know that there is an urgent need to get to the doctor because the symptoms can look a lot like other health problems like a hangover or the flu. "That's part of the challenge," Crowe told CNN. "High fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, even a dark purple rash. It can progress very rapidly though and lead to death within a very short period of time. So we're telling folks if they're seeing those symptoms, to definitely get to their health care provider as soon as possible." It's not as contagious as the common cold Crowe said, people need close contact with the infected to get sick. But "close contact" can mean just living in the same household. It spreads through respiratory secretions, like saliva or spit, or can be spread through kissing. "It's very concerning that we're seeing that number of deaths and then even people who survived there's a lot of really bad sequela including potential limb amputation and deafness. It's very serious, serious disease," Crowe said. People living with HIV are especially vulnerable since they're immunocompromised. The CDC has long encouraged people living with HIV to get vaccinated against meningococcal disease to prevent severe illness. But now the CDC is telling the community regardless of HIV status, that it should get the vaccination now. Even if they had one as a child. Typically the protection of the vaccine wears off after about five years. Get CNN Health's weekly newsletter People should ask for the MenACWY vaccine. There is another, MenB, but the subspecies of the bacteria from serogroup C is what seems to be at the root of these cases among the LGBTQ community in Florida. "The vaccine is readily available. Folks can go to their local health care provider," Crowe said. "The vaccine is also available at the county health department for free. We're trying to make sure that everyone who wants the vaccine can get it as soon as possible."

Joe Biden's presidency is failing. And Americans are hurting because of it. Chris Schlak, USA TODAY Fri, June 24, 2022, 4:01 AM In this article: Joe Biden 46th president of the United States since 2021 Joe Biden is stumbling. Last weekend, the president cruised on a bike trail in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with cameras clicking. As he finished the ride, Biden lost his balance and, like a cow being tipped, slowly fell with his bike – while it was stationary. Thankfully, he is OK, and I’m glad he wasn’t harmed. But his fall is symbolic of his presidency. In his first months in office, Biden rode high with a 55% to 59% approval rating. He signed a slew of executive orders and pushed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan through Congress. Then, in August, he decided to pull the United States out of Afghanistan. The botched withdrawal, which earned negative news coverage from the right and the left, sent his presidency into a precipitous decline. More cooperation and less 'political rhetoric' Now, soaring inflation, supply shortages, record gas prices and Russia’s war in Ukraine have left Biden and his presidency sputtering in the dust. Yet, after so much bungling and misfortune, Biden continues to remain headstrong in key areas where different policies could potentially mitigate the problems Americans are facing. One of those areas is gas prices. President Joe Biden's public approval rating fell for a fourth straight week to 36%, matching its lowest level last seen in late May, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on June 22, 2022. Opinions in your inbox: Get exclusive access to our columnists and the best of our columns every day Biden bike mishap is no big deal: But the president still shouldn't run for reelection On Tuesday, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth wrote a letter to Biden that called for more cooperation and less “political rhetoric.” He recommended “increasing American (energy) production,” “clarity and consistency on policy matters” and following the oil industry’s 10-point plan to free up American energy and bring down gas prices. What was Biden’s response? "(Wirth's) mildly sensitive. I didn’t know they’d get their feelings hurt that quickly," Biden remarked during a news conference. "Look, we need more refining capacity. This idea that they don’t have oil to drill and to bring up is simply not true." In other words, Biden continued to spout political rhetoric – criticizing instead of cooperating – and used the oil companies as a scapegoat, just as he did last week when he placed a large share of the blame for high gas prices on them in a letter. "There is no question that Vladimir Putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the American people and their families are bearing," Biden wrote. "But amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than $1.70 per gallon, historically high refinery profit margins are worsening that pain.” President's disapproval rating surges Biden is in no position to remain this uncooperative and stubborn. His disapproval rating now, ironically, averages between 55% and 59%. To be fair, Americans do tend to blame the president for their problems, whether or not the criticism is warranted. But with so much economic pain not long after the Biden administration and Congress spent trillions of dollars and made significant changes in energy policy, the turmoil can’t all be accidental. If your power goes out this summer: Blame President Biden's energy policies USA TODAY Opinion Fellow Chris Schlak Even left-wing economists and media sites are beginning to concede that the American Rescue Plan contributed to worsening the inflation. President Biden must realize that he is not the only one hurting here. Americans are hurting, too, especially low-income families. According to the Urban Institute, “Rising gas prices could mean reduced or costlier access to employment, recreation, education, and other needs.” Biden needs to try something different. He should at least be open to accepting some of the oil industry’s proposals. What does he have to lose?
