News Analysis: Charcoal, Clay Pottery, Fish Hooks, Weirs, and Woven Baskets discovered in Southeast Alaska (and Carbon Dated to be 7,000 Years Old) evidence Climate Change. However, in Alaska conditions are more Lush and Wetter now than before. Numerous findings throughout the area have led Archaeologists to ascertain the truth about Climate Change: “It is Multi-Directional: Cold To Hot, and Hot To Cold, Dry To Wet, and Wet To Dry”. The Key to Climate Change is the TIME SPAN over which such Observations and their resultant Conclusions are affirmed or refuted.
America’s ‘Alaska’ and America itself are less than 250 years old. If Alaska was occupied 7,000 year ago, where did the residents originate? More recent Archaeological Data obtained along the coastline of America is of Chinese Origin. In fact, Chinese writings describe in detail treks across parts of what is now California; this thousands of years ago!
Humanity needs to take Longer Term Views of what Happens by Man and by Nature on this “Big Blue Marble”.
Wise people realize conclusions about longer term Climate Change and other Events (based on mere ‘Snap Shot’ periods of time) can be very misleading.
