More Climate Change Info

Here's a couple of "climate change" news bits you might not have heard somewhere else.

I know you are aware that glaciers are melting. We are told that this a BAD THING because it will cause seal levels to rise. However, something rather odd is happening as the glaciers retreat. We are finding evidence of civilization where those glaciers once stood! In Switzerland they're finding silver mines.

So, as the glacier retreats they're finding the mine shafts and the mining tools stacked up and waiting ... waiting for the mine workers to return as the winter snows melted. It seems that one year those winter snows didn't actually melt. Then year upon year passed and the snows grew deeper. Finally, a glacier. It was the little ice age! Now the little ice age is ending, the glaciers retreating, and evidence of civilization emerging where we've known nothing but ice.

We're also finding water management structures built by man where glaciers are retreating elsewhere. So, yes, it's warmer. One whole degree in the last 100 years. But we've been there before. Warmer than this. And we did it without SUVs and the industrial revolution. Interesting...
