If you say shit like humans caused it, I'm stealing shit outta your house.

the unironic real redpill
Humans were the cause.
Retarded hypothesis with no grounding in reality
A series of large bolide impacts on the Canadian ice sheet and in the Atlantic Ocean as well as smaller impacts in Europe caused a sudden melting event, airbursts that resulted in global burnoff of grass and woodlands as well as megatsunamis. The meltwater in North America carved out unique features of the Mojave Desert in a relatively short time frame. American megafauna including humans were wiped out.
A giant solar flare that scorched one side of the earth and caused the massive flood that so many ancient stories mention. Rpmnj
I don't think any one actor is at fault, I think it was a combined effort. Climate fluctuation, human activity, and other, less understood factors. I don't think humans are 100% to blame for all megafaunal extinction, but I do think that they exasperated and drove extinction of animals already vulnerable to the shifting climates. Not through targeted hunting, but rather simply through tragedy of the commons at a larger level, because I would honestly doubt that anyone thousands of years ago figured out that animals aren't going to recover if you keep hunting them without breaks, since humanity was in pure survival mode at the time.
>I would honestly doubt that anyone thousands of years ago figured out that animals aren't going to recover if you keep hunting them without breaks
Most people didn't even figure that out 200 years ago, some haven't even figured it out today.
injuns caused it
Almost global warming is a cyclical thing and not caused by people driving fucking cars
This turtle will probably cross the finish line eventually, right?
What's the harm if I just kick it forward like a football? It's the same result anyway.
What a fantastically completely made up graph
cope
>2000 years
Not people driving cars, but corporations. A commercial tanker can release about 50 million tons of Sulphur dioxide, Commercial jets burn thousands of tons of kerosene right in the atmosphere.
It isn't the fault of the majority, but a small minority of greedy people.
It's not fucking corporations, it's celebrities and rich people with private jets that each produce more emissions in a year than 10 million people
What's it like to be so completely ignorant? The oil industry knew since the middle of the last century the effects it was going to have.
Younger Dyas Asteroid impact.
Sentients are incompatible with megafauna. Both demand a space and resource monopoly.
>What caused the Quaternary extinction at the end of the last ice age?
>end of the last ice age
you literally wrote it in your own post. no way you're this retarded
naturally, it was aliens being retarded and drinking too hard
GOOLD?
climate change caused the Neanderthals to die out taking predatory pressure off humans.
Are you stealing literal shit? Cause I've been having sewer issues and I could use a hand here.
Atlantis got nuked and that caused the ice age and the flood
Humans did it.
I'm going to shoot you with my Single Action Army in the jaw and them fuck you until you bleed out.
Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.
climate change
Whaaa it was totally not the monkeys hurling 8 foot long darts at 90 mp/h over 100 yards.
>The mammal extinction wave in Australia about 50,000 years ago coincides not with known climatic changes, but with the arrival of humans.
>In addition, large mammal species like the giant kangaroo Protemnodon appear to have succumbed sooner on the Australian mainland than on Tasmania, which was colonised by humans a few thousand years later.
Curious.
Pure coincidence.
Tbh, Australia (like New Zealans and Madagascar) were extremly isolated.
While many megafaunal species were mainly hunted to extinction there.
Did in Europe,Asia Africa and the Americas the large collapse pnly start after 1000s of years co-existing with hunans, at the exact same time, where the climate drasticaly changed.
humans are the garden gnomes of the animal kingdom
garden gnomes are the garden gnomes of the animal kingdom
Obviously an isolated case.
They got their comeuppance in 1788
Australian wilderness isn't even remotely comparable to Eurasia and America.
Climate Change that changed the Mammoth Steppe, thus killing the Mammoth.
Since they were so vital to that ecosystem and were a keystone species, their extinction caused a trophic collapse.
>No Mammoths?
>No more trees being cleared allowing for healthier soil and grass, wiping out the wooly rhino, Wild Horse and other large herbivores.
>No more large herbivores meant the large carnivores: Dire Wolves, Smilodon, Cave Lion and American lion specialised for killing them no longer had that abundant food source
>These carnivores couldn't compete with Humans for food since they were more specialised than us.
>More Generalised animals like Wolves, Grizzly Bears, Bison, Deer and Cougars survived alongside us since they could survive on smaller quantities of food.
humans caused it
I'm stealing the mac book you used to post here, anon.
you didn’t have to call him gay.
