Australia's Pinnacles Desert - memorials to climate change.
The Pinnacles Desert in Australia’s Nambung National Park. Is an eerie
field of tombstones. A fairly recent change of climate made it. See a great little clip of it at http://www.oz-greetings.com.au/video/preview/55. There is an article about these eye-catchers at http://www.oz-greetings.com.au/geolo...-National-Park. Cheers - Klaus and Rusty (the dog). |

Cheers - Klaus and Rusty (the dog). I suspect you haven't read your own website and are just jumping on the climate change bandwagon. Here is an excerpt from the website of the West Australian Department of Environment and Conservation: http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/hotproperty...pinnacles.html "Although the formation of the Pinnacles would have taken many thousands of years, they were probably only exposed in quite recent times. Aboriginal artefacts at least 6,000 years old have been found in the Pinnacles Desert despite no recent evidence of Aboriginal occupation. This tends to suggest that the Pinnacles were exposed about 6,000 years ago and then covered up by shifting sands, before being exposed again in the last few hundred years. This process can be seen in action today - with the predominantly southerly winds uncovering pinnacles in the northern part of the Pinnacles Desert but covering those in the south. Over time, the limestone spires will no doubt be covered again by other sand drifts and the cycle repeated, creating weird and wonderful shapes over and over again." Or are you just pushing your own website? But then you should quote it correctly. |

That freed sand off the sea floor and into dunes. A climate change to warmer than acted on those dunes accordingly - and formed Pinnacles. Greetings to you - Klaus |

Greetings to you - Klaus Hi Klaus Don't really want to get into a slanging match so will keep it to just this once more. You wrote: "A fairly recent change of climate made it." The DEC website says: "the formation of the Pinnacles would have taken many thousands of years" Your website says something similar. Neither website actually talks about climate change - which in the present day has the meaning of human caused change in the climate and which until very recently was always called global warming.
