Climate Change Thread

I find the idea that an extinct significantly deadly disease ended up all the way up in a pre-industry permanently frozen part of the arctic somewhat dubious.

Then again, some unlucky medieval ice harvester croaking of the plague mid job and ending up in a glacier somewhere, that seems pretty believable.

Water can flow. It doesn't always stay in one place. And the Arctic isn't the only place with ancient ice. There's ancient ice on the mountaintops at mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Alps. And remember that certain regions used to be much warmer long long time ago such as Antarctica.
