60,000 year old Cyprus forest off coast of Alabama

Very Interesting find - even a "climate change" plug toward end of article.

It was absolutely amazing the amount of water that storm moved on us in the Pensacola area.

My take-away from this article?

We're due for an ice age in about 40,000 years...

Predating the arrival of humans in North America and the pyramids of ancient Egypt by more than 50,000 years, the trees discovered in the Underwater Forest date to an ice age 60,000 years ago, when sea levels were hundreds of feet lower, and the Earth was much cooler than it is today, with much of the water on the planet locked up in glaciers.

While most people think of the period from about 12,000 to 18,000 years ago when they think of “the” ice age, the planet has actually been visited by dozens of ice ages, which occur every 40,000 to 100,000 years.

For the record, DeLong is talking about sea level rising or falling around 75 feet in just 1,000 years. This would translate into a rate of sea level rise of about 8 feet every 100 years, or even faster than the current worst-case predictions for the near future.

Becker said science, and even the very existence of the Underwater Forest itself, provides such concrete proof of climate change and fluctuating sea levels that he fears the politicians of today are spending too much time arguing about what role pollution may have played in our current climate rather than focusing on how to get ready for the coming changes.

“When you study the past, fossils and such, you start to think, ‘We’re not here for a long time, we’re just here for a good time,’” Becker said. “The sea is rising, just as it has in the past. Places we live are going to be flooded, just as the Underwater Forest was. It may happen in five years, it may happen in10 ten, it may not happen in my lifetime, but it is going to happen.”

The proof, he said, is all around us, from the fossils in the ground, to this ancient forest under the sea.






Clearly, we need an exponential increase in taxes to fix this.
