Before Greta, there were Vikings: Swedish runes warned of impending climate crisis, researchers claim

Uncategorized

Before Greta, there were Vikings: Swedish runes warned of impending climate crisis, researchers claim A famous Viking runestone has been reinterpreted by a group of researchers, who believe that the ancient message, which talks of ‘war-booty’ and Norse gods, is actually a metaphorical warning about climate change. The Rok stone, created in the ninth century in south central Sweden, bears the longest runic inscription known in the world. Scholars have put forward a number of theories about the meaning behind the 700 inscriptions, including that the stone may have honored a lost son or served as a way to preserve tribal myths. Its cryptic etchings have now inspired a new interpretation: the runestone was erected by Vikings who prophesized a climate cris...

Scientists finally identify cause of GLOWING EYES during radiation therapy (PHOTOS) Mysterious, but widespread reports of radiation therapy patients seeing flashes of light, even when their eyes are closed, may have finally been explained, as the unusual cause was finally caught on camera.

Tired of media’s Pentagon spin? Lee Camp outlines 6 things you aren’t being told about the US assassination of Soleimani (VIDEO) Media outlets have omitted aspects about the US assassination of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani that don’t fit Washington’s narrative, comedian Lee Camp has argued. He’s debunked the Pentagon spin so you don’t have to. The host of Redacted Tonight has listed six things about the highly controversial killing that the media has either ignored completely or under-reported, including the not-so-convenient fact that Soleimani had come to Baghdad to hold de-escalation talks with Saudi Arabia – before being killed by a US drone.

As a taxpayer, and a Monarchist, I’m entitled to take a rather dim view of this. https://t.co/s6gkmN3yiI— Piers Morgan (@piers...

'It could be PSG's year': Neymar eyes Champions League glory this season as he reflects on 'very difficult year' in 2019 In a decade or two when Neymar is looking back on his career it is unlikely that he will settle on 2019 as being the most satisfying chapter of his story, but he says that he intends to use last season as a springboard to success. The Paris Saint-Germain star endued a torrid campaign last year as succession of injuries limited his time on the pitch, while he was also linked to sexual assault allegations in 2019 which were ultimately dropped. And now, as the first week of 2020 extends, the superstar has spoken about the difficulties he faced on and off the pitch in the French capital and identified the goals he aims to achieve this y...
