The Last "Ice Age" Was Really the Ice Cap at a Time When the Continents Were in Different Positions

It is common knowledge among paleoclimatologists that parts of Siberia and Alaska where ice-free at the same time ice sheets advanced as far south as Chicago in North American and well into Central Europe. 

Accepted pattern of ice. Can you spot the ridiculous?

Odd, right? How can that be?

Wouldn't the ice advance roughly to the same latitude worldwide?

The answer is actually quite simple. Yes, it would! And it did. But it didn't advance much past the Arctic Circle of it's time. It was an ordinary, run-of-the-mill polar ice cap, not an age of ice advancing to the 40th parallel.

That's because the continents were in a different position at that time and the geological clues of the former ice cap, and its subsequent catastrophic break up, are simply being mistaken for advancing ice sheets. One researcher suggests that the Hudson Bay is the impression left by the weight of the previous polar ice cap, just like today's island of Greenland is concave in the middle from the weight of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Regardless, it appears the previous polar cap centered on the Canadian Shield, or Laurentian Plateau.

The position of the ice cap mistaken for an "ice age."
The evidence in the area outside the circle may have
been from the break up and flooding instead of ice.

So rather than the accepted "ice age," what really happened is that the earth experienced a cataclysm between 3000 BC and 10,000 BC that shifted the areas of Siberia and Alaska from a subtropical zone to the arctic zone, while North America and Europe, which were previously in the arctic areas was pushed further south. The remains of the plants and animals in old temperate Siberia and Alaska were quickly preserved in ice after the catastrophe ended.

Let's use common sense. If the polar ice cap was as I say, it means that the mammoth remains found in today's Siberia and Alaska were really animals living in a temperate grasslands climate at the time - a latitude where they could eat tons of vegetation - just like their elephant cousins of today. They could never have survived on rooting through snow for grass, moss and lichen. Neither today's elephants or the mammoths of old could survive in tundra. The stomach contents of the semi-preserved carcasses confirm this. As does the recent discovery that their hair (not fur) and lack of sebaceous glands would have been poor protection from the cold.

Aside from the frozen remains of mammoths, rhinoceros, hippos and other warm climate animals, the Siberian north has preserved the remains of large trees. These trees are much larger than the scant small trees that grow in the icy north of today. Some of these still have their roots, bark, leaves and fruit intact - frozen and blackened. The masses of trees piled up on some arctic islands provide hints to a violent end. Yet another piece of evidence that the Siberian region was subtropical, not arctic tundra, before the cataclysm.

Subtropical trees strewn and preserved on Siberian islands

And here's another weak element of the erroneous "ice age" theory. Ice sheets can only move boulders and gravel and cause striations if they are advancing or moving - like a glacier. And glaciers only move because they are descending out of a mountain range. There are no giant northern mountain ranges to propel the ice into central Europe or the midwestern United States. What is being mistaken for glaciation is the striated rocks caused by tremendous flooding and the erratic boulders that were trapped in polar ice and drifted with the flood waters then deposited their rocky cargo after the iceberg melted.

The final fatal flaw of the "ice age" theory is that no one has proposed a reasonable cause of the lowered temperatures. The only argument used is that the ice sheets lowered the temperate.

So let me get this right. The ice sheets are caused by lower temperatures. And the lower temperatures are caused by the ice sheets. Right? Wow! That logic makes me dizzy!

Another problem with the "ice age theory" is that sea levels where much lower at the end of what is mistakenly believed to be an ice age. The missing water can not be accounted for by the ice at the time. There was simply not enough ice to account for the missing water. This flaw has been nagging at scientists for so long that instead of looking for an alternative to the reason for low sea levels, they simply tweaked their computer models until the sea levels are no longer too low. Voila! Make the problem go away and problem solved. See: Scientists May Have Just Solved The Long-Standing Mystery of Earth's 'Missing Ice'.

Similar patterns are found in Siberia.

But the real answer is that for a long time after the last catastrophic shift, a lot of ocean water was trapped in a variety of inland seas throughout the planet. This was due to the severe uplift and changed topography. Eventually these inland seas eroded through their natural dams and rushed to the sea not only raising the sea levels but also carving new canyons and creating undulating plains.

This is what I call the post-cataclism dust-settling period. It took many generations in some cases. The problem is that some people had already settled in some lowland areas that were later reclaimed by the rising oceans. For example, the Tigris and Euphrates river joined into a single river that flowed through the valley that is now at the bottom of the Persian Gulf as it flowed to the Indian Ocean. It seemed like a very desirable place to live at the time. But as the inland seas released their water and the oceans rose, these people were driven from their homes.

the last continental shift - Noah's flood.

Another clue to this fact are the seals in Lake Baikal and the Caspian Sea. They were trapped in a large inland sea in Central Asia. As the sea drained and their habitat shrunk, they adapted to the ever increasing fresh waters of the remnant of that sea.

Most of today's scientists won't entertain this theory, because accepting a catastrophic shift of the continental plates would mean the earth is much younger than believed by the mainstream thinkers. The earth HAS to be very old in order for the theory of evolution to be taken seriously. They jump eagerly on any theory that lengthens the Earth's age and ignore ones that shorten that age. 

So, the accepted belief is that continental drift has been uniformly slow since the beginning of time. That's a BOLD assumption since man didn't live in pre-historic times. Unfortunately, that belief is so deeply rooted that drift calculations are now used to date other aspects of ancient geography. That creates errors upon errors upon errors.

Too often we see older, unproven theories used to prove new theories by quietly pretending that the older theory is now fact. The "ice age" is just one of many unproven theories that have been around for so long that people treat it like fact.

It's time for a HUGE re-think.

I feel at home with Pierre Carron, who's skepticism is summed up by Will Durant in "The Age of Reason Begins" with the following passage:

Fools argue that truth is proved by universal consent, and that vox populi est vox Dei; Charron believes rather that the voice of the people is the voice of ignorance, of opinions manufactured for them, and that one should be especially skeptical of what is widely believed.*

Paleoclimatologists keep showing these images with no shame.
It's obviously an ice cap, yet they don't blink at the absurdity of
their ice age claim including a magically warm Siberia and Alaska.
