I post this for 3 reasons. 1. I used to live nearby and I have been on manasota key a few times 2.Its interesting 3. We have 7000 years of ocean rising by at least 9 feet... who are the loons going to explain this. http://www.wtsp.com/article/news/lo...scovered-off-floridas-gulf-coast/67-524076059 A fossil hunter while on a dive in 2016 reported possible human skeletal material off the coast of Manasota Key in Charlotte County, Florida. State officials explored the site in the years since and announced Wednesday, Feb. 28, the site is, in fact, a 0.75-acre Native American burial site in a peat-bottomed pond, according to a news release. The only known examples of submerged offshore prehistoric burial sites are known to be in Israel and Denmark. Researchers say the water level in the Gulf of Mexico 7,000 years ago was about 30 feet below compared to today. It's likely the pond at the time was on dry land about 9 feet above sea level. It's believed ancestors of Florida's indigenous people laid their family members to rest at the site. Now a known part of history, state officials are working to determine how to best manage the site to protect and preserve it.
by the way here are some nutters scientists... how about more than 9 feet in 7000 years. https://www.ucsusa.org/global_warmi...a-level-rise-global-warming.html#.WpnmJ-jwZhE Why are the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico hotspots of sea level rise? Global average sea level has increased 8 inches since 1880. Several locations along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico have experienced more than 8 inches of local sea level rise in only the past 50 years. The rate of local sea level rise is affected by global, regional, and local factors. Along the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico, changes in the path and strength of ocean currents are contributing to faster-than-average sea level rise. In parts of the East Coast and Gulf regions, land is subsiding, which allows the ocean to penetrate farther inland.
Whatever Jem has said, I think it important for him to read this. He may have some very dim lights. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180205134251.htm Soler said sustained exposure to dim light led to significant reductions in a substance called brain derived neurotrophic factor -- a peptide that helps maintain healthy connections and neurons in the hippocampus -- and in dendritic spines, or the connections that allow neurons to "talk" to one another. "Since there are fewer connections being made, this results in diminished learning and memory performance that is dependent upon the hippocampus," Soler said. "In other words, dim lights are producing dimwits."
