What was Koch's conclusion?
A bit of bias?
Or just making sure that his research is linked to the AGW "Zeitgeist" so he can obtain some additional funding?
Were I him, I certainly would do the same thing..
But the MISSED CONCLUSION is that 7,000 years ago, only 4,000 years out of our most recent glaciation, the earth was warmer, not just in the N. Hemisphere, but also in New Zealand and S. America..
Then, for some reason, temperatures dropped sufficiently to cover up those trees for 7,000 years.
I think that's worth a bit more research, don't you?
At the very least, it's pretty evident that the planet undergoes dramatic temperature variations from time to time, and human interference has had nothing to do with it.
But even more importantly, no "tipping point" was ever reached 7,000 years ago, except possibly a point where temperature reversal was inevitable and the planet cooled for 7,000 years, until recent time.
