‘It Gets Heated’: Twin Sisters Divided Over Occupy Wall Street

[HVC]

A giant Komodo Dragon lived in Australia that was 5-7 meters long. It went mysteriously extinct after the aborigines showed up.

and the aborinies showed up mysteriously after catastrophic climate change.

Sides, come on tim, comparing a monitor lizard (big though it may be) to dinosaurs. You know more than that.

Is that why climbers take oxygen up there?

Obviously not talking about the peaks of Everest here. 

One of my partners has gone to the base of Everest to help clean up all the oxgen tanks left behind by other climbers.  Notice that is at the base camp level that the litter of oygen tanks starts accumulating - not the peaks.

I'm pretty sure that Australia is more than 5-7 metres long.

It shrunk under the weight of the giant Komodo that lived there.

also, how the hell did we get onto the topic of time traveling cavemen.

Komodo Dragons kill people today and they barely get to 3 meters long. A Komodo Dragon that was twice as long and far more massive would obviously be quite dangerous to come into contact with.

Tibetan plateau is 13,000 ft higher than sea level and has been populated for over 20,000 years.

Re komodo's since my phone won't let me quote:

They're cold blooded. Get em between a few hours of of dawn and after dusk and they're easy kills. You can't use that as a comparison.

So people can adapt to less oxygen.

Ok, all species can adapt to changing conditions. At some point the species may adapt to the point it becomes a different species.  How does that help your that oxygen tanks are only used in the peaks of the Himalayas?

I was using the peaks of Everest as a metaphorical example. Don't go all Grumbler on me.

Chickens are extremely dumb and basically dinosaurs and we domesticated them.

Basically?

Nope.  In the Cretaceous, the atmosphere had 50% more oxygen, and also ~500% more CO2, but not enough to pose a health hazard so far as I know--at least in the short term; long-term exposure to five- or sixfold CO2 levels may manifest some bad effects.  Actually, though, I suspect some devices might have to be redesigned to work properly--internal combustion engines specifically.  And heightened O2 may mean greater incidence of cancer?  I dunno, I'm not a doctor.

Which model are you using to support your argument?
