Climate change is exposing reindeer hunting gear used by the Vikings' ancestors faster than archaeologists can collect it from ice thawing in northern Europe's highest mountains.
The artifacts are astounding:
Specialized hunting sticks, bows and arrows and even a 3,400-year-old leather shoe have been among finds since 2006 from a melt in the Jotunheimen mountains, the home of the "Ice Giants" of Norse mythology.
But, wait! Let's follow the logic. Dastardly man-caused global warming is melting ice exposing human artifacts. Which means that humans had to walk that land to leave them there to be found. Which means?
Say it! Saay it!!!!
I'll say it. It means that the temperature was at least as warm as it is today. And it is unlikely that human industry caused the warmth. Says the article:
"It's like a time machine...the ice has not been this small for many, many centuries," said Lars Piloe, a Danish scientist heading a team of "snow patch archaeologists" on newly bare ground 1,850 meters (6,070 ft) above sea level in mid-Norway.
It's like climate changes without us, or something!
