Integrated Patterns of Civilization - American Thinker(global warming facts)

For example, the recent integration of fragmented data from diverse paleontological and archaeological sources has revealed a remarkable interrelationship between reoccurring periods of global warming (none of human origin), and the periodic emergence, and then demise, of many rudimentary forms of civilization. The rise of each civilization has been coincident with a warming period, perhaps because warming periods are conducive to longer growing seasons, and a much increased availability of food. For the first time in millions of years, a fortuitous congruence of intermittent periods of long and short global warming has resulted first, in the emergence of rudimentary civilizations in the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile river valleys, and then a sustained (if intermittent) development of an advanced civilization on Planet Earth.
