Artic Alaskan Shrubs Reveal Changing Climate: Researchers have found that warmer arctic temperatures are causing vegetation changes on Alaska's North Slope. According to the study, as shrubs increase in size and abundance, they impact the local heat balance.This could mean either that biomass and biodiversity benefit from warmer temperatures, or that mankind is once again unleashing a flood upon innocent ecosystems by tampering with the permanent true state of Mother Nature. I say once again because our human ancestors apparently caused the same catastrophe five thousand years ago.
Global Warming Seen as Spur to Build Ancient Road: Archaeologists have unearthed the prehistoric equivalent of the M1, apparently built in a hurry across flooding peat bogs during global warming around 5000BC. The track of parallel pine logs on Hatfield Moors, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, is one of the earliest of its type to be found in Europe and was described by English Heritage as "internationally significant". More than 50 metres of track has been excavated in the past year. Findings suggest that the roadway, discovered accidentally by a Doncaster man, Mick Oliver, was laid out hurriedly as rising seas spilled on to the moor.I don’t believe the definitive archeological evidence has been discovered showing how humans in pre-historic England managed to pollute the atmosphere with Carbon Dioxide prior to the Bronze Age, but there can be no doubt about human culpability based on the focused reaction of the ecosystem forcing ancestral eco-criminals to build roads to escape.
