How could this have happened without man using fossil fuels?

Notice that man made globe warming is not mentioned in the article.

“””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?

This discovery reshapes our understanding of the Rocky Mountains’ past climate. It also confirms that tree lines have shifted dramatically over thousands of years, responding to long-term environmental changes

And that 'tree lines' will continue to shift over the eons? That the statement 'this too will change' is as real today as it was in the past or ever?

but isn’t the phrase “climate change” used synonymously? Paragraph 1 and 2 form a mighty contrast to me.

Sooooo, before 6k years ago, there were forests there. Stupid me, because that made me think that climate was warmer then. What caused it to cool? Why was it warmer before? My daily entertainment is reading the first-grade ‘science’ reporting of mere journalism majors who read the output of folks whose research grants would continue if and only if they reported the gubmit’s already reached conclusions. Conclusions financed by a collection of ‘leaders’ who are into politics precisely because science was totally beyond them. As for the article - interesting about the trees. Total bull-Obama about the ‘climate change’.

The author is a complete retard. How can thawing forests that were previously frozen show the “threat of warming”? Is it not a good thing that previously frozen forests are thawing and a bad thing that they were frozen in the first place? Isn’t good and bad irrelevant since climate change is an eternal constant which we cannot and should not try to alter? Author twists themselves into a pretzel to support a bankrupt narrative.

I am amused at how they always characterize change as a threat rather than a return to a previous norm. The discovery that there was once a thriving ecosystem there before it was iced over is evidence there was global cooling between then and now that destroyed that ecosystem, and now that it is melting there will be a thriving ecosystem there again soon.

Funny how it's always a one-way street with these people. Warmer temperatures allowed trees to thrive at higher elevations yet warmer temps are a "threat" to ecosystems. They will never admit that warming may have benefits.

One way you can tell the climate narrative is a big lie is they are 100% consistent in never admitting an opposing point. Nothing that's truthful is that seamless.

...when they were alive, temperatures were warm enough to support forests at much higher elevations.

Once upon a time it was warmer. Then it got cold. Now it's becoming warmer again.

All of that has happened and is happening regardless of human input.

So it was warm enough just 6,000 years ago for these trees to grow on that mountain?

Then it got cold and they were buried in snow and ice.

But then it warmed up again and today the snow and ice cover are melting.

Do these people understand what they are saying?

The trees were discovered 180 meters above the current tree line, suggesting that when they were alive, temperatures were warm enough to support forests at much higher elevations.


So the area warming up to the point of supporting trees again is a climate disaster?

So, the weather was great - and trees grew.

Then ice came, and buried them for 6000 years.

Ice is melting now because of mankind, and the trees that were growing for thousands of years are reemerging.

Minorities and illegals hit hardest, followed by kids, then XX women.

White men to blame.
