The Holocene glacial retreat is a geographical phenomenon that involved the global deglaciation of glaciers that previously had advanced during the Last Glacial Maximum. Ice sheet retreat initiated ca. 19,000 years ago and accelerated after ca. 15,000 years ago. The Holocene, starting with abrupt warming 11,700 years ago, resulted in rapid melting of the remaining ice sheets of North America and Europe. The retreat of glaciers altered landscapes in many ways and is currently still acting as a result of climate change.

Well there you go.
If only you could understand what you quote.
LOL
Yes climate change that started 15,000 to 19,000 years ago...my petrol-driven car was not on the road then.
The industrial revolution wasn't even invented, nor were the coal-fired power stations providing my electricity.
Someone tell the kiddies in Israel etc protesting 'climate change'.
That's not what it says, Bambi-ignorance.
It says that the retreating glaciers today are because of climate change - the type you deny.
But you can't even admit that you misread it. You used to be able to grant when you got stuff wrong, but not anymore.
It does say that retreating glaciers are because of climate change...climate change that happened all by itself 15,000 years ago...and continues today, all by itself, just like it did before.
Like the globe that heats up by itself and cools down by itself.
Goods news...bambu-ilk won't be made buy electric cars now...Conservatives won 'the unwinnable election'.
Buying electric cars will be optional...as it always should be.
Forcing people to buy electric cars is oh so "Nazi Germany".
We the People downunder are forced to vote...that's bad enough.
Nearly $400 billion in extra taxes Leftist Labor was going to introduce.
. Death/inheritance tax
. Increased taxes on people's superannuation savings
. Increased taxes on investors who own rental properties...people renting would've seen their rents rise.
. Increased taxes on self-funded retirees who have shares as investment...loss of income for folks who worked hard all their lives and saved.
. Close down all coal-fired power stations..."coal is evil".."coal to be replaced by renewables"...."100% renewables".
. 50% reduction in emissions target by 2030 or whatever.
. etc.
And "redistribute the wealth", "class warfare", "gender warfare" ['50% women, sack men and give women their jobs'] they were all about.
Also use the taxes for 'climate change'.
Leftist Labor proposed Treasurer said;
"We make no apologies for these policies of ours...if you don't like it, vote for someone else".
So the people did...voted for someone else! LOL
Yes, Bill Shorten/Leftist Labor lost the 'unlosable election'...much like HRC and co did.
EXCELLENT post, sir.
You might wanna start paying attention...
The Left will be coming for your wealth too!

Why Democrats Like Taxes Again
Tax reform is rarely a stirring political subject, but there have been times in the past when the question of what citizens owe to our collective good—or, conversely, how much they should keep to themselves—has ignited a real national conversation and a change of direction. The 2020 presidential race looks likely to be one of those moments, since it’s already clear that overhauling the tax code is going to be a central part of the political debate, at least on the Democratic side.
Unlike past cycles, this time Democrats won’t be content to propose higher tax rates simply as a vehicle for realizing other policy aspirations. Raising taxes has become an end in itself, a way to radically reorder our economy and even the structure of power. Some Democrats have realized that taxes can be wielded to reduce income inequality and, in the process, take power out of a few private hands and invest it instead in the democratic collective. This marks a dramatic change—and a very necessary one.
Already, one Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Elizabeth Warren, has made a big splash with a new tax plan. In January, she proposed a new wealth tax that would charge 2 percent on Americans with assets of more than $50 million and an additional 3 percent on those with $1 billion or more. Her campaign staff estimate that this proposal alone will raise $2.75 trillion in revenue over a decade. That would be an extra $210 billion a year, equal to 1 percent of the US’s entire GDP. But she has argued that it’s about more than just filling government coffers, saying it “will help address runaway wealth concentration.” As she told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes:

Ah yes...'redistribute the wealth'.
Just the start.
