Norwegians lose ice artifacts to climate change

Ice layers once covering Norwegian mountain summits are melting so fast, archaeologists cannot keep pace with and preserve the number of emerging discoveries.

It takes a fairly special interpretation of the facts to deduce that uncovering archaeological treasures going back some 3,000 years is somehow 'losing' them.

The doublespeak being offered here seems to be based on the idea that, because they have found so many they must have lost even more and so that great global bogeyman 'climate change' (even this phrase is about to be binned in place of Global Climate Disruption, yet another coverall phrase) can be wheeled out and applied in this case.

Do these people think we're stupid? I think they do.

The scientists talking to the reporter here don't mention climate change in any of their quotes. Indeed:

"It's like a time machine...the ice has not been this small for many, many centuries," Pilø told Reuters this week.

I'll accept that the ice is melting due to climatic processes right now. I'll accept that some portion of that may well be related to man on earth. But you need to remember it's also been reported that cow, pig, sheep and chicken on earth are responsible for about a third too (oO,). But what exactly happened many, many centuries ago that is fundamentally different from what may or may not be happening now?

The standard answer is time period. Like we're to accept that the ice encroached over a leather show over hundreds of years. Not forgetting that the artifacts they are finding stretch back 1500 years up to 3400 years. Did the ice stop coming slowly for nearly 2000 years do you think? Or is it at all possible that in a period of 3500 years alone the ice has moved back and forth sometimes more than today, sometimes less?

You need to remember if you even have the audacity to wonder about this stuff you're a denier and an anti-science flat earther.

I'd like to know why this article is even tagged with climate change considering they couldn't get a money quote from the scientists? Do you think they've just not used it, or the implication is in the quotes and it doesn't need to used. Or is the sub-editor just so lazy they've seen melting ice and automatically added the climate change tag. Personally I think it's more likely that we're being spoon fed yet more bilge dressed up as concern for the planet.
