Well, that was before global warming—machines were all steam-powered at the time and emitting no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at all—so it was much colder. In fact when we go back in pre-history about 7,000 years to the time of the dinosaurs when carbon dioxide levels were 3-4 times what they are today we notice a perfect correlation in temperatures. The average daily temperature at the equator was 231°—no ice caps at all—and the seas were 7 miles deeper, completely covering all land and making the air rather thin from the altitude. It’s fortunate the Earth’s core was cooler then so the seas never quite got to the boiling point.
Three summer session, community college courses in biology, history, and physics would save you from the next person who does that to you. I just do it for fun. The next guy’s gonna take your money. If you’re lucky.
