Yesterday’s news reports, scientist are concerned with the melt off of ice in Alaska that is exposing a frozen forest that is 1,200 to 2,350 years old. That frozen forest is a clear sign the temperature is not as warm today as it was when Jesus walked on earth. Therefore, I am not too worried about global warming causing too much harm. “The Mendenhall Glacier, which flows from the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Ice Field, has been retreating since the mid-1700s, according to the USDA Forest Service. But in the past 50 years, reports LiveScience, relics of an old forest have begun appearing amid the melted ice. In the past year or so, trees still upright and with roots and bits of bark still intact have been exposed by the retreating flow. Researchers based at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) are studying the emerging forest; they have determined that the trees’ ages range from about 1,200 to 2,350 years old, reports the Juneau Empire” (wunderground/news/melting-glacier-exposes-frozen-forest-20130924 ).
