If anything, the Ice Age should be proof that the planet has undergone plenty of climate change over billions of years. Still, humans still managed to team up with climate change to drive the woolly mammoth to extinction.

The woolly mammoth was 3.4 metres tall at the shoulder & weighed 6 metric tons. It died out 10,000 years ago due to climate change & hunting by humans. pic.twitter.com/8JDn6tEoR7 — Extinct Animals ?? (@Extinct_AnimaIs) April 29, 2019

Hunting by humans? Don’t let Keith Olbermann anywhere near this tweet or he’ll go off on a rant about trophy hunting.

But the humans survived. So maybe climate change isn't so bad if you know how to adapt. — Death's Guinea Pig 4.0 (@Bernie_Gilbert) April 29, 2019

If only they had AOC to warn the cavemen back then to convert to Socialism we'd still have teh wooly mammoth you guys. https://t.co/MKDfftT7AL — Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) April 29, 2019

lol, climate change. smh. They just didn't tax mammoths enough or some b/s. — KSabs (@ksabst) April 29, 2019

Imagine the mammoth flatulence being released into the atmosphere.

There is absolutely no evidence that climate change had anything to do with this.

They were overhunted by natives. Period. — Jimmy Levy (@JimmyLevy15) April 29, 2019

The heat of the campfires caused it. — Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) April 29, 2019

Hunter/Gatherer/SUVers did them in. — Richard Vincent (@BigRMV) April 29, 2019

Stupid cavemen just had to have their SUVs and private jets… not to mention their inefficient glass and steel caves… but try to tell that to climate deniers with their far right “ice age” conspiracies.. https://t.co/7zVao2rqpY — Alex P Keaton (@I_Hate_Hippies) April 29, 2019

So … was there anything humans could have done back then to have prevented the climate from changing? We could use the tips — we have only 11-and-a-half years left to turn things around.

Imagine hunting one of these with a flint spear. Good times. https://t.co/juvqCLeCTq — David Banks (@DavidBancz) April 29, 2019
