Did mammoth deaths contribute to global cooling ?

This seems like a reach to me. Now saying that it contributed to the warming is one thing (a small lightning strike fire also did that), but I think they are reaching with the significance it played. I agree the amount of methane released by these "burps" couldn't be that significant, but then again I'm no expert on the matter perhaps getting rid of soda would cool the planet down some

I'd be interested in if the same thing happened with the giant Bison herds of the American praires were wiped out. I think they need more then just one data set to establish a correlation.

No! Please don't get me started on Al Gore...

no. wouldnt the climate shift have caused these animals to die off instead of the other way around? saying that the global temperature plummeted just because they stopped burping all the time is absurd. *facepalm*

While in school many (many) moons ago, I was told mammoth froze to death (and could be still found in ice cubes in Siberia)... so how could the freeze to death and create global warming at the same time... ?

So, they were warming the planet by passing gas? They would start dying off because they need cold climates no?

It makes perfect sense if you use AGW logic. But my car runs on range free dinosaurs, it's perfectly organic

My mate Dave more than makes up for a lack of mammoth methane.
