8,000 yrs ago? Then that got to be the lost Garden of Eden....

We’ve melted the glaciers and slain the Mastodons!! My carbon credit payment must have bounced.

I bet Global warming was the cause........

Huh, Huh, Global warming again...........

This is why all of you deniers need to be rounded up and put into camps where you can’t interfere with the plans of your intellectual superiors. Isn’t this exactly what Pope Al warned us about: Its getting warmer, the oceans are going to expand, drowning all of our coastal cities and we are all doomed unless we embrace socialism now.

What’s that you say? Its already happened? The Earth got warmer, the glaciers melted, and we all had to move to higher ground. When? 10,000 years ago. Oh, never mind.

This site was discovered accidentally by lobsters?

[Riodacat]

"There were people here actively making stuff and being quite industrious,"

Obviously doing stuff Americans won't do anymore.. Obviously their southern border was also very porous - let in too much water..

[green iguana]

Scientists discovered the site accidentally 10 years ago, when lobsters mucking around the seabed revealed a cache of Mesolithic flints.

How'd they make the lobsters talk?

"Tell us where you found them flints boys or we'll boil you alive!"

[Publius6961]

Momber said at 8,000-years-old, the settlement was the only underwater Mesolithic site in Britain, though it was probably part of a much larger area of occupation yet to be uncovered.

I always question the professionalism and the integrity of any scientist who makes absurd absolute statements like that one.

is it too much trouble to state what is known?

...the settlement was the only [known] underwater Mesolithic site in Britain...

Is much more accurate. Totally different "larger area of occupation" may remain to be found.

[Knute]

Bush’s fault...

[CodeToad]

waitaminut....glaciers 8000 years ago melted?? Ya mean glowbull warming was going on 8000 years ago??

[Energizer45678]

Global warming 8000 yrs ago- Bush’s fault!

[Hoffer Rand]

So how come that global warming led to “modern people blossoming” and the current trend is dire and signals the end of the world?
