A study that has probably evolution and millions of years together has been published In Science. It deals with the millions of years before our time.

The study says that the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) [~1.25 to 0.85 million years ago marks a shift  in long to the character of glacial-interglacial climate.

The researchers say that  there were  millions of years before our time and a changed climate for some time. They say that this change was due to a change in deep ocean circulation.

The cause of the Little Ice Age is a surprise for evolutionists

The little ice age brought crop failures, famines and pandemics throughout, Now scientist have seen crop failures, famines and pandemics throughout Europe been triggered by an unusually warm episode.

Now scientist have discovered that it was brought about by an unusually warm episode. Lead author Francois Lapointe, postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in geosciences at UMass Amherst and Raymond Bradley say that a sudden change from very warm conditions in the late 1300s to unprecedented cold conditions in the early 1400s, only 20 years later.

Over the course of a few decades in the late 1300s and 1400s, vast amounts of ice were flushed out into the North Atlantic, which not only cooled the North Atlantic waters, but also diluted their saltiness.

According to Christianity, humans are responsible for taking good care of the Earth. God already gave us this mandate in Genesis and He has not repealed it. However, there is a big difference in taking care of nature and worshipping it.
