WW I Soldiers Found Preserved in Melting Glacier Ice

Interesting from a couple of perspectives. Good to see there is a chance some MIAs may be identified for the sakes of the families. Also - hello global warmers - ice melted to expose bodies that ended up there during a previous ice recession, only 100 years ago.

So, instead of entering a period of global warming you're suggesting that we have been in a period of global cooling? I'll buy that.

I think the fact the Vikings were able to sustain an agrarian society on Greenland for 500 years tends to lend credence to that idea, as well. When confronted by global warming zealots, I tell them I'll start to worry when it gets too hot to farm on Greenland. Until then ... STFU.

Well, what I would mostly say is that whatever side of the debate you're on, 100 years is weather. Wanna show me planetary climate? Show me your 300,000 year dataset. In planetary timescales, we're barely emerging from the last ice age. This isn't the first instance of previous human activity being exposed by melting ice. Somehow the AGW crowd can only grasp the current melting, not the melting from 100 or 1000 years previous, that allowed the artifacts to be deposited there originally. But these are all micro-events compared to Milankovitch cycles.

Milankovitch cycles.


I heard Milankovitch was paid off by Big Oil and the Koch brothers.
