Is it possible that Gore is dyslexic?

It might have been mentioned on this forum before – any plant debris found in glaciers obviously comes from a warmer past (higher tree-line) Just date the debris. There are plant samples collected and dated by reserachers. Take for instance Jörin and Schlüchter’s work in the Alps. Good evidence of how fast glaciers (and temperatures) did change in the past.

here a link to two publications I found – one in English and one in German

http://achangeinthewind.typepad.com/achangeinthewind/2005/06/index.html
http://alpen.sac-cas.ch/html_d/archiv/2004/200406/ad_2004_06_12.pdf

here a quote for the panic crowd:

“Our findings so far could also be seen as giving the exact opposite of a climatic all-clear. If we can prove that there were ancient forests where the glaciers are today, it means one thing in particular: that the climate can change more suddenly than we thought.”


Steve: I did a fairly careful look at Thompson’s plants last summer. Check the Thompson category.

This needs some music. Recommend “Thus Sprach Zarathustra”.

Also, isn’t this hockeystick just a bit… well, primitive?
