Hunt is on for ancient 'global warming' documents

Experts are hunting for ancient tablets in Iraq that may hold the key to understanding global warming.

Foreign Office Minister Bill Rammell told the Commons that the Government was taking steps to identify and protect the nearly 5,000-year-old Sumerian Tablets.

Experts say they constitute "the longest single, largely-unbroken climate record known on earth".

The fate of the artefacts - thought to be the oldest scripts in the world - was raised by Father of the House Tam Dalyell in a short debate.

He said it was vital to preserve written records of "extreme global climate fluctuations in the last 5,000 years".

Scientists had to refer to previous such events in a bid to understand what was happening today, he said, and the longer the record the better.

Mr Rammell told him: "Foreign Office officials have spoken to Professor Richard Grove at the University of Sussex who is a leading expert on these issues.

"He has explained that these tablets date back to 2900BC and are thought to be the oldest scripts in the world.

"He has said that these tablets contain important data on climatic events of the time and are of huge importance to developing our understanding of climate change today and that it was vital efforts were made to find and secure these treasures.

"I am therefore more than pleased to be able to confirm that we are now taking steps on the ground to identify and protect the Sumerian tablets along with other antiquities."

It looks like mainstream science is finally catching up to what many, such as Robert Sepehr (www.planetxvideo.com) have been saying about current earth changes. It appears these ancient tablets speak of celestial events which periodically effect our planet.

"Everyone knows these tablets are of great value to humanity", Robert Sepehr continues, "and now we are finding out why in a shocking way".
