Graves Yield Clues To Two Civilizations; Some Date Back 5,000 Years When Area Was Lush

natural process stopped and the manmade warming started because there is not a single scientist out there that has been able to determine that.

Well...you seem either ill informed, or so charged about the issue that you make poorly thought out statements. The natural process hasn''t stopped...it never will. We are simply accelerating a warming trend at a pace that is catastrophic to organisms designed to adapt over longer periods of time. What you people need to stop asking yourself is, "how can man influenced climate changes be real?", and start asking yourself, "given all of the chemistry we''ve pumping into our atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution, how can we not be having an effect?"

The Earth is just fine. It will rebound from mankind. Were the ones that are screwed. Not the planet.

Exactly...that''s what these not so like minded folks need to understand. People seem to be under the impression that an environmentalist is is some tree hugging hippy bent on saving the planet. No true environmentalist worth their weight in carbon believes that...it''s the humans we''re trying to preserve. The earth was here long before we ever showed up, and will be here long after.

However, what do you expect from a public who generally gets their science/history education from the sensationalist media or pandering polititians?
If Mankind is the primary cause of global warming, then someone please tell me when the natural process stopped and the manmade warming started because there is not a single scientist out there that has been able to determine that.

These findings are more proof that our world has made some very drastic changes in weather, climate and geography in its millions of years of existence...and will in all likelihood make more as it continues to spin through space....

...so true, people fail to realize that climate change (and extinctions) have always occured and warming from the last ice age has continued non-stop (except after major volcanic eruptions).

Mankind''s history is a record of it''s struggle with climate change

It is the doubling of our population every 40 years that is causing problems with our environment. Anyone with more than 2 kids are a greater threat to mankind''s future survival than any climate change.

Yes, and in Greenland, under the 2km thick ice sheet, drilling for research cores has shown Greenland''s Southern portion once had lush FORESTS, buried now of course under that huge ice cap.

Far as global warming goes, you only need to look at unprecidented ice melt in Greenland; www.emagazine.com/view/?3997

Why what%u2019s happening in Greenland matters now

Some moulins%u2014melt water pouring through glaciers%u2014in Greenland are now as big as Niagra Falls.

It is hard to shock journalists and at the same time leave them in awe of the power of nature. A group returning from a helicopter trip flying over, then landing on, the Greenland ice cap at the time of maximum ice melt last month were shaken. One shrugged and said, %u201CIt is too late already.%u201D

curse914, everyone knowws the Earth is 6,000 years old. LOL @ you non-believers.

Maybe the searchers are looking for Atlantis in the wrong place.
