We made it! Bleary eyed and a bit soggy from the constant drizzle, we in arrived in Copenhagen yesterday. Christmas and Climate Change are in evidence everywhere! I’ll email photographic evidence later today (see below), but meanwhile, my first favorite factoid from Denmark courtesy of the Danish National Museum:
Did you know…
Some 14,000 years ago hunters threw bones and reindeer antlers into a lake in Jutland, little knowing that these artifacts – and others such as a tree stump from the bottom of the Great Belt, a bog bodies foot and thousand year old ice… – would play a key role in scientists’ knowledge of climate change.
