I live at 4200ft. in Az, so flooding or not doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I have read this article previously on Smart News. I hope the scientists not only take some soil core samples but core samples from those uncovered tree stumps. They could well give a good indication of the climate 4-6k years ago. Maybe this research would show that Climate Change is not necessarily human caused.

Thank you for mentioning the continuously altering sun cycles and the Earth magnetic poles gradually switching positions.
Talk about making a difference. That'll make a hugely difference in a lot of things, I'd imagine.
Of course, most of us won't be around to see it actually be complete, but its interesting to contemplate.

I am so sick of science ignorant politicians using the UN Agenda 21, as if it were their invention, when the UN used it to get control of people back in the 90s! None of these folks mention the sun scycles, and absolutely none mention the coming switching of the Earth magnetic poles. Those are the cause of real climate change, not CO2.

Since we haven't gotten back to the point where wine grapes will grow in London, as they did on the 1200's, since the little ice age, I'm not sure how they can claim it's too warm now.

Greetings, Irshultis. My remarks are meant to illustrate (with a bit of humor) if 45 centuries ago the forest was forced into extinction by drowning due to a rising sea level, then that level must have risen for some reason. Why not "global warming" even when it couldn't have possibly been anthropogenic? If not man, then what? Following today's idiotic rhetoric, massive flatulence may be the answer. Anyway, isn't it interesting that the sea level has receded in May 2019 enough to expose the formerly drowned forest? Following the "global warming" hysteria predicting rising sea levels one would think the forest would be even deeper. Also interesting, the article suggests that over the past 4500 years this "forest" has appeared and disappeared many times meaning the seas have changed depth many times as well.

I still say the best indicator of global warming and rising seas will be when the rich elite have a fire sale on beach front property.

45 centuries * 8 inches per century is 360 inches or 30 feet of sea level rise. The 8 inches is about the rise per century if about the same as today's rate.
That 30 feet is plenty to flood out some low level lands.

Benny Hill used to refer to "terminal flatulence" a lot. Recon that's why the buffaloe {sic Dan Quale} died off?

Me dino took another look at the two photos. You may very well be on to something.

Maybe you'll be allowed to have a Wales of a good time.

What I found as interesting, is that many of those "ancient stumps" appear to have been logged. Natural breakage doesn't leave stumps looking like you could use them for a table.

"The entire forest is open to visitors." Does anyone know if you can bring along a chainsaw? I'd sure like a few slices of some of those stumps.

Me an old dino in the same retirement boat. Otherwise I'd be spending less time in The Gulch.

At least I'll get to enjoy a few years of my retirement before we all die...

Quote, “The fact that we’re getting more storms.."
Wrong. Stats from insurance and other sources show a declining trend of big storm disasters.
Pardon if I comment without a careful reading, but this climate change causes rising sea levels as seen by a sunken Welsh forest rising! Typical re-gressionist logic.
allosaur says -"climate change blather". That say it all.

I wonder if they even realize that their analysis has nothing whatsoever to do with climate change and actually supports an entirely different narrative altogether if one looks at the timeline.

Me, I'd be interested in getting a hold of one of those stumps for some creative woodworking. You'd get some truly gnarly woodcraft with absolutely beautiful lines from one of those stumps...

After that F5 passed through, a wide long stretch of my neighborhood looked like a war zone and a lot of people died. Some homes were rebuilt but there are still a lot of empty lots with debris long ago cleared. One lot stands out for having concrete steps that lead up to nothing but a stand of tall grass and brush.

You mean her contact site doesn't work, either? No surprise there. LOL!

Me dino just tried to send this crucial information to An Occasional Cortex in a hope she would make it public but I hit a glitch on her contact site and gave up.

I had a Nature experience that'll stay with me as well.

It was the "Big Earthquake" of 1989, killing 67 people in the SF Bay area.

It was 5:04 PM local time and I was at work. Three of us was talking in the aisle when the floor started swaying under our feet. It is a terrifying sensation, because contrary to instructions to run and hide under a desk, you can't move. It is like being in a boat violently rocking from side to side.

We knew immediately that we were being hit by a Quake. One of us in the group was my secretary who exclaimed: "The computers"...and tried to crawl in to the next office to disconnect them. Bless her heart to be able to do that.

I lived 30 miles from my work and had no idea if my house was still standing or not. Driving home was like passing through an uninhabited planet: nobody on the road. It looked like the Bridge was fine so I took it but later I saw video of the Bay Bridge having collapsed, burying cars and people.

The house had a large crack on it but otherwise it was standing.

For 10 years afterwards we kept hearing that this was not the "Big" earthquake, it was still coming.

Several hit the Bay Area since. I have an earthquake tracking app: there is an average of 20-30 quakes every day in the State. There were 7,131 in the past 365 days.

Yes, it is good to watch the Trump rallies and the positive energy flowing from it.

What is pulsating from ANY gathering of the left is hatred, ill will, and an anti-life miasma that you want to get as far away from as possible.

You mean they farted their way to extinction? LOL

Maybe someone was trying to tell you something.

That's how globally warming woolly mammoths became as extinct as the last major Ice Age.

And don't forget the methane from them hairy elephants too!

I'll never forget that feeling I had before I left work that day...
