"First discovered in 2002, the researchers have since identified 28 separate sites near the margin of the ice cap where these ancient plants have been exposed. Carbon-dating revealed that the plants range in age from 5,000 to 6,500 years old."

And how old it the earth? If the data survives review and is ultimately more accurate, then we have something to discuss.

The issue remains that the AP has identified itself as unreliable. They join the NYTimes as a source that no intelligent person would read if they value truth.

"Their conclusions mark a massive climate shift to a cooler regime that occurred just over 5,000 years ago, and a more recent reversal to a much warmer world within the last 50 years."

So which condition is the norm, the 4595 year one or the 50 year one, or the warmer one which ended 5000 years ago?
