A new study by the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen has narrowed down the end of the last ice age to exactly 11,711 years ago.

“Our new, extremely detailed data from the examination of the ice cores shows that in the transition from the ice age to our current warm, interglacial period the climate shift is so sudden that it is as if a button was pressed”, explains ice core researcher Jørgen Peder Steffensen, Centre for Ice and Climate at NBI at the University of Copenhagen.

Must have been human camp fires leading to global warming – or maybe mammoth farts.  Of course, human blond hair can be traced back via the MC1R gene to about 11,000 years ago, so there must be a connection.  Yep, blonds ended the last ice age and started global warming.

Hey, if the Church of Global Warming can make wild, unsupported accusations, I can too…
