I haven't even read this article in full yet but I am posting this link because Elayne sent it to me knowing my interest.

And in reply I told her that that reminded me of one of the first paperback books I bought for myself when i was a child. Anyone else old enough to remember this "International Bestseller?

Of course, they haven't found the evidence yet... but it's a pretty compelling theory that is worth investigating! The aha moment of thinking "hey, maybe this previous climate oddity had a technological reason"-- I love those epiphanies, even if they turn out not to lead anywhere, because every so often it leads to new discoveries!
