The Juvfonna ice field at 1,850 metres (6070 feet) above sea level is seen in the Jotunheimen mountains in Norway September 9, 2010. Climate change is exposing reindeer hunting gear used by the Vikings' ancestors faster than archaeologists can collect it from ice thawing in northern Europe's highest mountains.

No. No it isn’t.
Nothing like socialist propaganda disguised as a news story.

Does anybody ever ask in these stories, why, if man is causing the climate to change with his SUVs and cattle flatulence, that there were people living there back then, presumably without SUVs ???

I guess they can’t be bothered to contemplate how all this land was ice-free during the time of the Vikings.

At 3500 years ago these are not strictly speaking "the Viking's ancestors" ~ more like "the Sa'ami ancestors of Vikings, the Norse not yet having made their way out of their flimsy wikiups somewhere in Western Asia".
There, that's so much better.
The link up between the Sa'ami and the Norse didn't really get going until the 900s when the Norse adopted a boat designed and used by the Sa'ami for use in mountain streams and the Arctic ocean.
The design was scaled up, given a neat dragon prow, and turned loose on a drowsing Europe!
Nothing was ever the same.

There is always one shoe by the road. It has gone on for centuries. Who knew?

I thought there was no climate change.
To: NormsRevenge
Is this rooter’s entry in a “see how many times you can place ‘climate change’ in your essay” contest? Furthurmore, how do these guys get away with the notion that once something is covered up by, say, ice from a long time ago that it can never ever ever and ever be uncovered again unless caused by man?

"It's like a time machine...the ice has not been this small for many, many centuries," So, it was hotter several centuries ago when these Vikings were roving about. Who'd a thunk it.

None of the stuff looks like a hut to me. I saw sticks, rocks and ice.

These areas became covered in ice after the socialist governments destroyed the oil industry, cars and aircraft. The exorbitant taxation cooled the climate dramatically.

Don’t be ridiculous. EVERYBODY knows that George Bush invents a time machine next year and goes back in time and caused globull warming in the 15 century BC.
