Discovery of Ancient Tree Beneath Glacier

A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps.

Dated to around six thousand years ago, the species is Swiss stone pine.

Today, trees of that type cannot grow at

that altitude because it is far too

cold. This means that when that tree was alive, the climate there had to be

warmer than today. Six thousand years ago aligns with the

Holocene

climate optimum, a time when temperatures

were far higher than now.

Even with far less atmospheric CO2, Earth's climate is cyclical and

mother nature self-regulates. Narratives of doom serve political aims,

not reality.
