It's limited data. Period. You can't deny that. I'll again refer to the fact that we don't even know what killed the dinosaurs - huge things - bigger than humans. Many different varieties. All gone. How? Why? Perhaps the CO2 levels were a LOT worse then? We don't know because we have VERY limited data on the earth's history.  |
Are you fucking serious ? This has to be one of the most close minded and idiotic things I have heard someone say. So i guess you believe the earth is the center of the universe, there is no other life forms out there, etc..
So you are saying we can only record things from our past that took place while we were here to record it ??? I guess you never heard of things like carbon dating ?
In the documentary, which I guess you have never seen, they used a very common method amoung the scientific community which is drilling holes deep into the ice and getting ice cores which contain information from millions of years ago. I am not the best person to explain to you how this works but here are some pictures i just found to give you picture of what it is.

Do a little research and open up your mind.
