...and it's been happening forever. This is a story about an ancient cypress forest found 60 feet underwater off the coast of Alabama.

Interesting to note, in Biblical times pre-great flood there was no ice. They've found evidence in Antarctica of it once existing as a sub-tropical climate.

That is climate change. But there is none currently happening.

It is currently weather variation within the climates. As far as I know tundra is still classified as tundra, humid subtropical is still humid subtropical, etc.

A degree change here or there does not change or reclassify a climate.

I remember seeing a documentary on the pyramids in Egypt. In it, they explained that the pyramids were not built in the desert. Where they are was once pretty lush.

I blame carbon emissions from the Dinobots.

I disagree to an extent. Ever heard of Pangea? Plate tectonics? There is a possibility that forest may have been lush when that portion of Bama was closer to the equator. That's not climate change. That's one area being in a different climate all together.

Climate change as a whole doesn't exist IMO

Biblical times? You mean only 2000-3000 years ago? Can you link where you read that somewhere? I've heard of evidence of it being tropical around 53 million years ago and then became icebound very quickly geologically speaking. It is estimated to have only taken 400,000 years.

Well, I only believe Earth is at most 10k years old. I know that'll spark another debate which I don't intend to do, but yes Biblical times so rightly 6k years ago. When the Great Flood happened it removed a canopy over the earth and produced an ice age. My source is a book "Darwines Demise" LINK

Of course the climate changes.

It is crazy for people to think governments and politicians can do anything to stop if from changing.

I hope this isn't news to anyone. It should be well known that sea levels were between 120-140 meters lower 20k years ago.

60,000 years ago. When about another 50,000 years roll by, then I might start getting a little nervous.

If I don't make it that far would you leave a note on my grave to let me know how it turns out? I'd appreciate it. Oh yeah, try not to wake me. I'm a bear when first getting woke up.

And it has been much higher. I have a place in Pickens county Alabama (west central) and a few miles south of there is a place called shark tooth creek. At one time the Gulf of Mexico came up to there and that was a shoreline, there are thousands of shark teeth and fossils in that creek bed. It has become a tourist attraction.

I also have a place 25 miles from there in Sumter county that, every year, in one of my food plots I will disk up a few fossilized shells. A neighbor of mine works for U of A in Moundville (indian mounds here in Tuscaloosa) said that type of mussel became extinct around 400 million years ago.

A friend of mine has a house in Alys beach that just a few hundred yards from his house is a grove of fossilized tree stumps that are just a few feet below the surface.
