That red X is menacing. Must be red from the climate change.

Another recent article on considerations of the potential practical impacts of global warming (and not necessarily linked to whether man is or is not causing the problem.... just adds to the relative import of the phenomena): http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/03/04/giant-virus-resurrected-after-30000-years/

So biologists and archaeologists have found that we can be affected by climate change. Hmmmmm.....

That is really interesting! I have a passing familiarity with Ancient Greece, and I have always wondered why the "age of Palaces" just disappeared. Troy, Minoan culture, Mycenae, all these magacities just died and a dark age loomed over Greece for several centuries. To see a potential connection between that locale/era and the Indus Valley is stunning. So it wasn't something in the Hellenic culture, but was possibly a far-reaching phenomena! Thanks for filling in that confounding piece of information for me! Now I can't wait to teach the Iliad and the Odyssey next year
