Receding Glaciers Caused Global Warming Panic – Until They Exposed Things.

Glaciers are retreating! Did you know that! Yup, retreating! It’s that pesky climate change thing. But something rather odd is happening as the glaciers retreat. We finding evidence of civilization where those glaciers once stood! In Switzerland they’re finding silver mines. That’s right, silver mines. As the glacier retreats they’re finding the mine shafts and the mining tools stacked up and waiting … waiting for the mine workers to return as the winter snows melted. It seems that one year those winter snows didn’t actually melt. Then year upon year passed and the snows grew deeper. Finally, a glacier. It was the little ice age! Now the little ice age is ending, the glaciers retreating, and evidence of civilization emerging where we’ve known nothing but ice. We’re also finding water management structures built by man where glaciers are retreating elsewhere. In other words .. yes, it’s warmer. One whole degree in the last 100 years. But we’ve been there before. Warmer than this. And we did it without SUVs and the industrial revolution.

Maybe … just maybe .. the tide of hysteria is turning. Thank the new media. While mainstream newspapers and media outlets regurgitate the global warming and climate change mantra, people remain free to log on to the Internet (for now) where they’ll find more than enough to read from scientists who were once global warming alarmists but who are now skeptics.
