Stupid old people!

On the other hand, I also have a picture of the remaining sliver of glacier on Kilimanjaro last August (which also stars my beautiful Fiancé).

As my photos clearly show, Everest had less snow 29 years ago, Killamanjaro is almost melted away, and I am a very lucky man to be marrying that woman. I dare you to show that my photos are less scientific than the comparison in TFA.
isn't this the most simple explaination? [sic]
No, the most simplest explanation is that it's all an imagined phenomenon.
Don't be such a skeptic. If you don't believe that 19 correct guesses proves a pattern, just come ask my favorite octopus. Now that he is retired from world-cup football he's free to predict the next mass-extinction for you.
People who cheat have one thing to blame, and to find it they need only look in the mirror.
It's not always the cheater's fault. Why, lots of the times I cheated it was totally the woman's fault... oh, wait, this isn't going out on the internet is it?
Please disregard.
It's the ultimate in recycling!.

An equally valid hypothesis is that there was no environmental change, but that in an otherwise genetically diverse population one small group gained a genetic competitive advantage over other proto-humans and began to multiply wildly, killing off or starving out the rest of the gene pool. It would be interesting to compare the age of the various genes for cognitive ability, speech and socialization to see if any date to the period where these choke points occurred.
I would like to think it was a gene that supported empathy or cooperation that enabled them to out-compete their neighbors, but rather I suspect that a genetic disposition to xenophobia is a more likely culprit...
This plainly shows that our real enemies are all those creatures presently on the endangered species list. In the name of all that is holy, I call on you all to go out and hunt down the remaining grey wolves and pandas before they devour us all.
correllation is not causation? agggh!
Hey, calm down Matt4077. Stop yelling at the nice slashdotters and I will give you a piece of candy.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
