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.

Darn it, I was wondering where I left my shoe...

“Climate change is exposing reindeer hunting gear...”

No. No it isn’t.

Nothing like socialist propaganda disguised as a news story.

[Izzy Dunne]

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 ???

[dirtboy]

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

[worst-case scenario]

I thought there was no climate change.

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?

[AmusedBystander]

"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.

[Myrddin]

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

the ice has not been this small for many, many centuries

Not to beat a dead horse, but this means that the ice was 'this small' some centuries ago.

Which - means - evidently - that this part of Norway was as warm or warmer than today 'some centuries ago'

What kind of SUVs did the Vikings drive?

[norwaypinesavage]

Why, it hasn’t been this warm for 3,400 years! Actually, doesn’t it mean that it was this warm 3,400 years ago? One could argue, then, that the temperatures have held about the same for at least 3,400 years.

Thanks Fractal Trader, a two-list topic.

I wonder if they will find a 3,400 year old tablet, with runes showing how a shaman explained to the ancient Nords that the smoke from their fires was blotting out the sun, and causing the climate change that made the ice fields grow, and the crops fail.

This area is farther south than I thought from the picture.

[ConservativeMind]

So they had gasoline engines before these huts ever went under the ice?
