Yes he is a complete idiot that is trying to make an impact with written paper in the academic field.

He's not claiming that he's presenting the hypothesis also its not lack of fires specifically its the carbon that 1,000,000 camp fires and stoves was putting into the atmosphere.

@@DwaynesWorld007 It is still an idiotic hypothesis and the evidence of what really happened is accumulating pretty quickly. When they built the coffer dams to make the Fort Peck Reservoir in Montana, they discovered many HUGE bison skulls, several of which I have seen. Beautiful skulls in great shape.

It's hard to take you seriously when you claim that tens of millions of fires from civilizations spanning two continents were not impacting global climate. The gentleman on Joe's video is speaking of legitimate theories that can be argued for by vast empirical evidence.

Genghis Kahn some scholars believe may have killed an estimated 30% of the world's total human population. That's a mass number of people, potentially double the entire population of the western hemisphere. By this gentleman's hypothesis there should have been a HUGE global ice age resurgence as a result. These scholars are sitting around basically guessing and saying "I think...." the same you or I. They don't have any hard facts and people need to stop assuming that every single new hypothesis is the final sum conclusive answer because it never is.

The Younger Dryes impacted the wildlife far more than people.

@@jeffreyhill4705the megafauna survived through dozens of ice ages, and their populations have been shown to actually expand during those cold periods because the grass lands and savannas expanded. Plus the younger dryas was mostly a north atlantic phenomena, where the great plains and rockies didn’t really see much of a temperature drop during that period. Globally the younger dryas only got about half way colder compared to the depth of the last glacial maximum. And south america continued to warm throughout that entire period, so the YD can’t really be the cause of the south american extinctions.

well, he started with 8000 years ago and your mentioning things no where near that time line expect recent

the little Ice age was cause by a volcano in south east Asia during the 1700's America revolution war was fought during the cooling and the French revolution was cause by the cooler temps.

Lmao, classic defensive american comment.

Yes, I think it was 1830s though, it snowed in July on my family's farm in New York, they had to graze the cows in swamp grasses because most crops failed,,,somehow they survived, im still farming here today 200+years later

There were some in medieval times recorded too. I think one of the Iceland volcanoes had a lesser effect like this in living memory.

The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora gave us 1816, "The year without summer."

And a famous novel . . . . Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, published 1818

😂

Thatsa good name fir this guy.

Native american people used fires on the landscape in other ways than just campfires. So much so that many species of plants are adapted to live with and need fire for their life cycle

​@Parker that also happened naturally via lightning strikes but now instead of letting them burn we quickly put them out....

@@dangerousdylan6262 Just because lightning started fires naturally does not mean that humans did not start fires for their own purposes. Human beings use fire. It is kind of a thing with our species.

Solar minimum/maximum activity is the main reason why, it's well known. This last winter in north America was the worst in 15 years due to a solar minimum. Global warming is largely a hoax to tax the poor. Mt. St. Helen's has the fastest growing glacier in the world, on the 46th parallel, after losing all of its glaciers in 1980, and 1200 ft of elevation. Weird I thought global warming was doing the opposite? This is happening from Alaska to California, Alpine glaciers have been growing since 2012. Look it up, google and KZfaq constantly ban all info associated with contradicting global warming. Shit hole city/concrete jungle islands are getting hotter and bigger every year; imagine that, weird. Outlying rural mountainous areas are getting colder though.

Where you at? I'm BBQing fish everyday

Lol

There is no such thing as an idea that CO2 controls the climate. There is a factually proven theory that greenhouse gases, including CO2, water vapor, methane, and several others, create conditions where Earth's temperature goes up or down on average.

And yet guys like this scientist thinks that humans were the cause of the megafauna extinction. That's always been a ridiculous idea and your point supports that it is. Yes, a bidon or mastodon could feed a small village for several days or even up to a week. But somehow ALL the mastodons were wiped out. And according to guys like this guest, it was done in a short period of time. Those two points are mutually exclusive.

Absolutely true. You and I look at climate over mellenia whereas many today seem to think "climate" started 20 years ago.

Nope

He said 'are' the most effective, not 'were'.

Wrong, it was more like about 25% larger/heavier.

He meant modern bison

@@shafqatishan437No he didn’t.

lol Your stupid 😂thanks for making my morning

The Americas had a population on par, if not larger than Europe in the 15th century. The death of ~60-100 million people (and their civilizations) across two whole continents would not just directly lead to a reduction in carbon emissions, but also ecological reverberations as the top apex predator was removed and reforestation set in. Even if it wasn't the main driver, it could have easily had a major impact.

@@davidhearn356 it was a young one I think

Meh. This guy spins a nice yarn, sure. But it's mostly made up of bullshit fibers.

At the high point of its development, Cahokia was the largest urban center north of the great Mesoamerican cities in Mexico and Central America. Home to about 1,000 people before circa 1050, its population grew rapidly after that date. According to a 2007 study in Quaternary Science Reviews, "Between AD 1050 and 1100, Cahokia's population increased from between 1,400 and 2,800 people to between 10,200 and 15,300 people",[21] an estimate that applies only to a 1.8-square-kilometre (0.69 sq mi) high-density central occupation area.[22] Archaeologists estimate the city's population at between 6,000 and 40,000 at its peak,[23] with more people living in outlying farming villages that supplied the main urban center. As a result of archeological excavations in the early 21st century, new residential areas were found to the west of Cahokia; this discovery increased estimates of historic area population.[23] If the highest population estimates are correct, Cahokia was larger than any subsequent city in the United States until the 1780s, when Philadelphia's population grew beyond 40,000.[24] Its population may have been larger than contemporaneous London[25] and Paris.[26] Wikipedia Iroquois: Food production Further information: Economy of the Iroquois See also: Three Sisters (agriculture) The Iroquois are a mix of horticulturalists, farmers, fishers, gatherers and hunters, though traditionally their main diet has come from farming. For the Iroquois, farming was traditionally women's work and the entire process of planting, maintaining, harvesting and cooking was done by women.[178] Your knowledge of pre-Columbian North America is deficient.

Nice dodge, but the issue Flores brought up was that bison were dwarfs. His explanation is wildly speculative with disparate occurences that are not possible. A side issue was that there were 56 to 57 million humans living in the Western Hemisphere. When exposed to Eastern Hemisphere human diseases it caused a great dieoff that led to the Little Ice Age because they weren't burning to cook and heat with. That's crazy. I have read some of the work on Cahokia and I think the population estimates are far overblown. The extent of development in the area could also be explained by repeated movement as agriculture sapped the soils of nutrients. Flooding of the Missouri River has hardly been a reliable occurrence and deep tilling was improbable by hand on a large scale. Apparently, you're not sceptical enough.@@Scepticalasfuk

So true. Addictive.

This is not necessarily true. Bergmann’s rule strongly suggests that, within a species or genus, the larger subspecies or species (respectively) will live in the colder climates. This is true for penguin species (meaning larger species in the coldest climates) and for whitetail deer (larger subspecies in the colder climates).

Different species,same any mole. Hue men's divide any moles inn two different species. Example - Coyotes are just dwarf wolves. Foxes are dwarf coyotes. Isle dog breeds are dwarf wolves. Hue men's are dividing dim width names placed own dim.

Better than what the "news" has to say

i don't know if you are saying that natives had horses before spanish colonization or he was mis saying they were brought etc but north american horses went exstinct well before ancient people thought to domesticate them. dna evidence proved that all horses used by natives came from european stock, historically it was just underestimated how quickly horses became part of native culture being much earlier than realized.

Congratulations on winning the scarecrow fighting championships.

It's Moore den that. Day were closer two da original gene pool. If you skell prehistoric bison down two modern bison, day wood still bee larger bee cause of their body features.

Did a bison write this comment?

@@Critical_Stinking if you’re referring to yourself, then yes

It had know thing two dew width food. It's caused buy genetic load. Prehistoric bison are closest two da original create Ted bison. Modern bison are da closest two da original create Ted bison and modern times. Cows and dwarf cows are farthest from da original create Ted bison. Genetic load is caused buy recessive mutate Shawn's. Genetic regression/ Recessive genes cause any moles two bee come less fit over time.

Cows and bison are da same any mole. Modern bison are dwarf prehistoric bison and cows are sue purr dwarf bison.

@@iwkaoy8758 the fuck did you just say

Breeding does ant work that way. You Kent up breed any moles. You Kent own Lee down breed while molding dim inn two da shape you won't. Example - If you won't Ted two breed a smaller dog width very large ears, You start width a very large dog width large ears. You down breed da large dogs size,but preserve da ears. Diss is how long haired small dogs are create Ted. You Kent start width a dog width small ears and up breed dim. Da cow ore bison width da largest horns current Lee own earth, is da farthest you Ken breed da horn size. Prehistoric bison genetic regression inn two modern bison and cows,So da gene four doze prehistoric bison are gone four ever. Modern cows and bison features are da remnant of da preserved genes four prehistoric bison,but doze long horns and large body genes are gone four ever.

​@@iwkaoy8758It's ok, my text to talk doesn't comprehend southern either. Try editing for clarity, if you can. I understood the phonetic spelling but not everyone will.

Ok genius, what he actually says is this “ Yeah, the bison story, you know, obviously, I tell it several places……”

@@jamesmullins5826 Ok.. that's fantastic. Ummm... have you actually watched the podcast? He literally hypothesis that Native American campfires caused the Younger Dryas. And, yes, he definitely mentions that he's written and talked about bison before... But he distinctly said that Bison is the longest lasting American "economic pathway"... His words. That's surprising to me. I don't recall many Bison in the Eastern woodlands..nor the Arctic... Nor the Pacific Northwest.. My only point is that small game, deer, and especially fish could, possibly, have been more important to more people than the select few tribes dependant upon bison.

@@jamesmullins5826 Genius! 🤣 Something like that. I'm only a dolt that has read, studied, researched and listened (both formally and informally) to decades of historical accounts, peer reviewed analysis, lectures, hypothesis, and I have even been on dig sights. But, I guess that's all nonsense. Because campfire smoke caused massive climate change... and humans wiped out only a very select few megafauna species,of mostly predators... Despite there being bone beds of hundreds of thousands of animals... None of which have any evidence of human predation. In fact there's what? A total of 70 mammoth remains with any signs of human predation.... Out of hundreds of thousands of remains? Look. It's ridiculous. Yes, human hunters killed large animals. There's no refuting that fact. But to hunt, live near, and exist next to these animals for thousands of years.... Then poof! A concerted effort to completely wipe out only extremely distinct species, simultaneously, on completely different continents, using completely different tools and cultures... Was there a list? Did they have attack helicopters to wipe out entire populations, and not harvesting any meat or bone? That's ridiculous. I'm not, in any way diminishing this individual's intelligence... I'm just saying that he's in his own echo chamber. I'm not so sure about you, but I'd rather believe the person that wrote the research papers, over the guy that just read it.

@@Matt-416 Huh? I didn't hear him mention the Younger Dryas at all. He mentions the "Little Ice Age", which is very different. Also, he doesn't suggest that fires caused cooling. He suggests the exact opposite: that a "reduction" of fires might have caused, or contributed to cooling.

@@johnmcharst412 Pull whatever anecdote you want. His entire foundational research structure is ridiculous. Passenger pigeons didn't explode in population until the deforestation of the northeast. Dwarfism doesn't shorten gestation, (short humans don't have a shorter development than tall humans, same with dogs, horses, porpoises, alligators, etc) nor are modern bison "dwarfs" they are an entirely different species that isn't "8,000 years old". In the full podcast, he absolutely mentions the Younger Dryas, but to your point... Campfires caused the little ice age? Or lack thereof? What? Really? What evidence of that is there? The little ice age started around the year 1300... But campfires! Must be. He's very intelligent and seemingly knowledgeable.. but has zero peer reviewed scientific literature, zero formal education in ecology, paleontology, biological diversity, nor even history. He's a writer and an excellent researcher... But he changes dates, migration locations, population density, evolutionary evidence and ignores anything that could possibly contradict his theories. It's confirmation bias mixed with sheer incongruity.. at it's finest. Am I saying that everything he states is incorrect... Absolutely not! Same as I do not question his passion and intelligence. But his conclusions are not even close to what the actual evidence shows. He writes books, not scrutinized research papers.
