More evidence of prehistoric man-made globull warming caused by ancient farmers and their tractors, combines, SUVs, air conditioning, etc.

I think you’ve nailed it. I expect to hear the liberals all on that talking point soon.

Must be global warming. Those cavemen built fires with no social conscience whatsoever. /sarc

Wait a minute. If ancient forests are being revealed when the water recedes, does that mean that more water is being frozen in the poles? Hallelujah, Obama has done it!

“These forests were growing four or five thousand years when climate was slightly warmer than today”

Further evidence of global cooling.

“Trees stumps emerging off the Welsh coast between Broth and Ynyslas are also believed to hale from the same time period.”

“Hale?”

This seems to be about the time the Wisconsin Glacial period ended and the glacial melting raised the ocean levels. Anyone with more knowledge of this, please add.

Cool post - thanks.

It were the coal-fired power plants what done it.

Possibly caused when Lake Agassiz in North America, drained 8200 years ago. Pretty amazing that a lake in North America drains and land disappears in northern Europe and probably all over the world.

Sort of amazing these people 5,000 to 6,000 years ago managed to adapt to the climate change without government help...

Sigh.

There are a couple of big stumps hereabouts that are visible at extreme low tide, but the geologists say the land sank in an earthquake.

Mr Howie has labelled the stumps as “very fragile” and could be damaged by further bad weather and unaware onlookers.

Good grief, these stumps have been rotting under water for 6 thousand years and they are worried about damaging them? Skewed priorities? How about focusing on protecting living people from bad weather (and onlookers)! Or just leave weather be, it'll do what it wants all on it's own.
