“””A recent discovery in the Rocky Mountains has given scientists an extraordinary look into the past, but it comes with an unsettling reminder of the effects of climate change. A 5,900-year-old forest was found preserved under ice at Wyoming’s Beartooth Plateau, “””””
As an uneducated deplorable I would ask a simple question...what caused the forest to be frozen under ice in the first place?? Climate change, right?
6000 years ago is about the time Mount Mazama blew up, creating the caldera that would become Crater Lake. Mastodons were still walking around.
and ancient climate change thawed it.
If anyone visits Beartooth Pass during the summer, make sure you stay on the snow Fields, otherwise you will be eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Right, and it means that 5.900 years ago it was as warm or warmer than it is now. That’s why there used to be trees there and then later it got colder and they were covered in ice.
Don’t ask them such tough questions, it will make their heads spin
