Thanks for posting this story.

Defrosted caribou dung BUMP!

[OXENinFLA]

Grab the gloves boy's , we're going in!

[Bryan]

I wonder if they found any moose?

[cake_crumb]

Cool : Stone Age carobou manure.

The article could do without the stupid global warming crap (pardon the pun) obviously, there was no glacier when the poop was depositied on the mountainside. The ice came later.

DUH!!

All things considered, you were right to err on the side of caution and just excert the article, which contains a load of dung with the few words of token scientific discovery.

If they turn up used condoms and currency stained with cocaine this well could be a secret Clinton party site.

Global warming indeed.

A gopher-skin coat?

Wonder how many.. or maybe giant gophers roamed the planet years ago??

Arctic lupine seeds frozen for 10,000 years, for example, grew into healthy plants once they were removed from ice age lemming burrows.

Now, no false moves please. I want you to hand over all the lupins you've got.

For most scientists, from ecologists to climate experts, the warming of the planet is a disturbing trend that could radically alter the environment

Interesting, wonder where they get the "most scientists" bit:

Seems as though there is room for substantial doubt as to any negative effect human created CO2, Methane etc. may have on our Climate future.

Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse

At least these folks believe so:

Petition Project: http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p357.htm

During the past 2 years, more than 17,100 basic and applied American scientists, two-thirds with advanced degrees, have signed the Global Warming Petition.

Specifically declaring:

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."

Signers of this petition so far include 2,660 physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists (select this link for a listing of these individuals) who are especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide on the Earth's atmosphere and climate.

Signers of this petition also include 5,017 scientists whose fields of specialization in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and other life sciences (select this link for a listing of these individuals) make them especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide upon the Earth's plant and animal life.

Nearly all of the initial 17,100 scientist signers have technical training suitable for the evaluation of the relevant research data, and many are trained in related fields.

The planet is now in the midst of a natural warming cycle that has been compounded by a modern infusion of greenhouse gases -- carbon dioxide and other gases that are byproducts of industrialization. ....

Globally Averaged Atmospheric Temperatures
(NASA)

This chart shows the monthly temperature changes for the lower troposphere - Earth's atmosphere from the surface to 8 km, or 5 miles up. The temperature in this region is more strongly influenced by oceanic activity, particularly the "El Niño" and "La Niña" phenomena, which originate as changes in oceanic and atmospheric circulations in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The overall trend in the tropospheric data is near zero, being +0.04 C/decade through Feb 2002. Click on the chart to get the numerical data.

What a load of sh!t.

[RudeJude]

That's an interesting post, Thanks.
Perhaps in a few more million years ( if the planet still exists) somebody might be digging us up and theorising on this epoch!

8 feet high and stretching over a half-mile of mountainside.

Was this the only rest stop on the Caribou turnpike?

I'm having a hard time figuring our why all this crap was congregated in one place. The article realy doesn't say. Any clues anybody ?

Bump.

[Cachelot]

This is interesting. Wonder how many unknown bacteria and viruses are in there?

[Clara Lou]

REally interesting-- thanks for posting this! =)

[Varmint Al]

I would like to know who the ignorant people were who were driving the SUV's causing all the global warming 10,000 years ago when these artifacts were laid down!

Or would one think that maybe the warming and cooling is cyclic?

[tubebender]

It reminds me of the financial sites that say the "dollar is at is lowest level in three years". This one should read the "Artic is at it's warmest level in 10,000 years"
