The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Hey Per, the positives with glaciers melting is maybe these major religious artifacts will be discovered instead of just spears and wooly mammoth skeletons
Well, I suppose you could find some in the Elburz and Zagros mountains of Iran, which I guess might qualify as the Middle East, but I don’t think any biblical events of importance occurred right there.
Ok, my bad, thanks for clearing that up.
What will we find first? The holy grail or intelligent life on other planets. I wonder if the Greys live under Ice Caps. Apparently they are living amongst us.

Topper, any comments on DocsPer's sample size?
Fixed.
It’s happening all over Europe. Want some more samples? Fine.
No, I'm not looking for a war on which glaciers are shrinking and which are growing.
And if I were looking, I would want a global war rather than a European one.
For some reason though (in part the Gulf Stream, I guess) climate change is going roughly twice as fast in Europe as on a global scale.
Which could of course be the reason Americans don't give a fuck. The problems aren't as obvious there yet.

No. Per said that the glacier’s disappearance has revealed tools from the bronze and iron ages. The Bronze Age was 3300-1200 BC, the Iron Age came after that and is even more recent. Therefore the timeframe in reference would suggest that climate change has been a much more ongoing and rapid thing (both warming and cooling) than the millions of years ago crowd suggest.

Canada has a negative carbon footprint….

Plandemics, climate scams...fake alien invasions are next.
Hole up, grow your own food and stockpile ammunition
Yeehaw!!!
Topper is way ahead of everyone

Who is this "millions of years ago crowd"?
Lucy - the skeletal remains discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 was the first hominin to break the 3-million-year time barrier, pushing back the age of the human family to a time closer to when geneticists thought the ancestor of humans had split from the ancestor of chimpanzees

Were the tools lost on the ice or buried by the ice. The former seems more likely as glaciers move down hill as the mass in the upper accumulation zone pushes the lower zone further down the valley. Yes, glaciers move. How else do the erode valleys creating moraines and sediment.
If they had been abandoned on the surface then covered by the glacier they would have been ground up like the surrounding rock.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Exactly. These are objects that have been lost on top of the glaciers (or "ice patches"), then covered by snow and not seen again till today.
And as I mentioned before, there are no traces of humans inhabiting Scandinavia before the ice age, because everything that was here before the gigantic ice sheet has been ground into dust. For that reason we also have barely any fossils here, but lots of sand and gravel. There are only a handful of places where we have fossil bearing sedimentary rock. Mainly the islands of Öland and Gotland and parts of the southern tip of Sweden.
Other than that everything has been ground away, just leaving granite, gneiss, porhyritic rock and leptite. Quite boring imesho. https://www.mindat.org/photo-1017584.html
Apparently they also differentiate between glaciers, that move, and "ice patches" that are stuck in the same place. The ice patches are the ones that provide most finds, because even stuff that has been lost on top of a glacier can get ground into pieces as the glacier travels. Especially if it's in the front end of the glacier. If it's at the back end of the glacier, it can be dropped behind and in as good condition as something that was dropped on a stationary ice patch.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!
Except when donating blood.
Sweden set another heat record the other day. For the first time in recorded history we reached more than 30 degrees C in september!
In the city of Helsingborg the temperature reached 31.1 degrees on Sep 4th.
The previous record temperature for september was 29.1 and was set on September 1st 1971.
Yet, this is of course nothing compared to Phoenix, Arizona:
Unrelenting heat: Phoenix hits 100 degrees for the 100th day in a row
My understanding of the climate change issue is that the earth is warming too rapidly, not that we shouldn't let Earth get warmer. He only addresses the latter.
