What global warming activities are in Niagara falls?
Most people don't even realize that Niagra falls was CREATED BY GLOBAL WARMING. 27,000 years ago the ice started melting, when it was all the way down to Georgia. By about 18,000 years ago, the sheets had melted so much that Niagra falls was created. Around 12,000 years ago, both with the land "Bouncing Back" from not having Miles of Ice Sheets on top of it AND the Ice Sheets making a resurgance, the falls stopped flowing, but resumed around 10,000 years ago, in 2 places and by around 5000 years ago, so much water had melted, that the second falls, (which was around 200 miles West) was completely covered in Water, leaving only Niagra. Even TODAY, 99% of Niagra falls flows from Melting "FOSSIL" Ice, in other words the Sheets are CONTINUING to melt, JUST as they have for the past 27,000 years!
