Is environmental concern simply a trend?
Do you ever think about the last Ice Age? And, I’m not talking about the movie. Shortly after a lettings agent in Leeds arranged for me to live in cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/teethwhitening.html, I remember meeting a native of Alaska, named Shadi, who told me all about the Bering Strait.
The Bering Strait is the sea strait between Siberia in Russia and Alaska, and this used to either be land or ice depending on the age. It’s also known as the land bridge because the strait facilitated human migration between Russia and Alaska, that allowed for development of cultures, languages, and trades among other things. While European sailors explored this strait in the 1600’s, the first British Expedition set out from Wales to cross “The Everest of the Canoeing World” in sea kayaks in 1989. Their crossing was depicted in the film “Curtain of Ice”.
The Bering Strait marked the boundary or “Ice Curtain” between Russia and the United States during the Cold War. I think about the meaning of this ice in terms of continents, people, industry, politics, and so on. Our last ice age was the Pleistocene which separated human evolution between the paleolithic and mesolithic periods, and serves for the foundations of life as we know it today. What would have happened if this ice age did not occur? Did preceding earth inhabitants bother about environmental concerns as a “trend” before the change of their age?
