Primeval Underwater Forest Discovered in Gulf of Mexico

The Bald Cypress forest was buried under ocean sediments, protected in an oxygen-free environment for more than 50,000 years, but was likely uncovered by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said Ben Raines, one of the first divers to explore the underwater forest and the executive director of the nonprofit Weeks Bay Foundation, which researches estuaries.

The forest contains trees so well-preserved that when they are cut, they still smell like fresh Cypress sap, Raines said.

We have been very fortunate as a species to be living during a warming trend.

Yup an ice age might reduce the population substantially considering a much reduced growing season if we had one at all. Eskimos would fare well. Pass the Blubber.
