    More evidence that the Earths climate change is not a new thing!

    Humans had SUVs, hair sprays, and cattle farting 2.5 millions years ago??? Do you really believe carbon based vehicles are the only reason our climate is changing

    Evidence was unearthed in northern Greenland that that area was once abundant with all types of wildlife and lush greenery plants/trees. Carbon testing the age at 20-30 million years ago? I guess all those farting animals, smog generating vehicles and jet planes caused that area to turn into an Artic waste land?!

      it's been changing for millions of years or since the 5th or 6th day of creation, depending on you look at it.

        As said before, I live near the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay and have all my life. People are still buying, building and selling waterfront homes and condos like always before with no differences occurring in regards to land loss or flooding because of high/low tides.

        The seas are not rising. In 100-300 million years there might be some measurable differences but for now--no changes.

        Most larger ocean front cities have municipal piers 1000' or so long. They are constantly being torn up by the storms we have here but have you ever heard of one having to be rebuilt or raised due to rising sea levels? They are built a few feet above high tide for protection of storm waves but are the same piers and heights they always were since originally built, some over 100 years ago.

          Some geophysicist said changes in climate are the result of the earth wobbling on its axis. Story disappeared in an instant because it couldn't be denied so bury it.

            Here's an example of Climate Change not caused by people driving SUVs:

            The Missoula floods (also known as the Spokane floods or the Bretz floods or Bretz's floods) were cataclysmic glacial lake outburst floods that swept periodically across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River Gorge at the end of the last ice age. These floods were the result of periodic sudden ruptures of the ice dam on the Clark Fork River that created Glacial Lake Missoula. After each ice dam rupture, the waters of the lake would rush down the Clark Fork and the Columbia River, flooding much of eastern Washington and the Willamette Valley in western Oregon. After the lake drained, the ice would reform, creating Glacial Lake Missoula again.

            These floods have been researched since the 1920s. During the last deglaciation that followed the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, geologists estimate that a cycle of flooding and reformation of the lake lasted an average of 55 years and that the floods occurred several times over the 2,000-year period between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago. U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist Jim O'Connor and Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales scientist Gerardo Benito have found evidence of at least twenty-five massive floods, the largest discharging about 10 cubic kilometers per hour (2.7 million m?/s, 13 times that of the Amazon River).[1] Alternate estimates for the peak flow rate of the largest flood include 17 cubic kilometers per hour[2] and range up to 27 cubic kilometers per second.[3] The maximum flow speed approached 36 meters/second (130 km/h or 80 mph).[2]

            Just as a parenthetical note, Lake Missoula was the size of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario combined.

              There is a viewing point of the place you mention. Immense dry falls, amazing. Dry Falls of the Columbia?

                It was warmer in Greenland long, long ago and it wasn't in the same place on Earth that it is today.
                If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
