Yesterday I talked about Indonesia and it's approaching "disaster" and how they thought the West should pick up the tab for any environmental efforts they should make to save themselves, but what is also interesting is how this is not the first time that the area had been set up for a big disappearing act.
At the peak of the last ice age which means up to 40,000 years ago, Indonesia looked something like this, an Alaskan size peninsula made up of Java, Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. It was separated from an Australia-New Guinea continental mass by a small, island strewn sea. In short it looked nothing like it does today. Do we owe the Indonesians for this too? Once there was a large land mass with broad river valleys and presumably fertile plains and now there is a mountainous archipelago. Obviously, following the scientific wisdom of today, someone had to be responsible for the climate change that brought about this massive flooding. It could never happen without human interference.
Perhaps some ancient Cimmerian industry founded by Conan, the Bush of the Hyborian Age.
Perhaps those Bedrock pedo-mobiles were not as environmentally friendly as they thought.
Maybe it was a lack of celebrities that doomed this land, for without a Global Cool how could anyone hope to survive this Diluvian catastrophe.
If only Fred and Barney had had a Prius.
