**“LOL. Mr no input to climate discussions. Lets see how you go with this. Will probably disappear until the next low input comment.
So Sure. Let’s talk about it. In several locations around the world where retreating glaciers have revealed the preserved remains of ancient forests, tree stumps, and vegetation — some still rooted in the ground.
That means those regions were not only ice-free in the past, but supported life in a much warmer climate than that of today.
Mendenhall Glacier (Alaska): Exposed a forest dated to 1,000 years ago — during the Medieval Warm Period.
Lyell Glacier (Yukon): Revealed rooted trees carbon-dated to 2,000+ years ago.
- Swiss Alps (Morteratsch Glacier): Exposed Bronze Age trees dating back 4,000 years.
Ancient Forest Revealed by Melting Ice in the Rocky Mountains- Melting Ice Reveals Remains of 5,900-Year-Old Trees in Wyoming, Uncovering a Long-Lost Forest
Melting glacier reveals forest entombed by ice 1,300 years ago in southern Alaska
Remnants of a grand forest that vanished 1,300 years ago have begun to reappear in Alaska’s Kenai Fjords National Park.
The ancient trees that populated the forest are tumbling from the receding Exit Glacier, and they’re showing up along the banks of Exit Creek.
This isn’t vague modeling. It’s physical evidence that alpine and polar regions have been warmer in the past.
Now that you know, Can you respond? Likely not.
