• Resumen

  • Thousands of ancient relics unearthed by climate change could soon be lost forever, destroyed by weathering and pests. The crisis is so acute that some archaeologists are urging colleagues to abandon their current field sites and focus instead on these newly exposed treasures before they vanish. This material is like the library of Alexandria. It is incredibly valuable and it's on fire now, George Hambrecht, at the University of Maryland, College Park, told New Scientist at the Anthropology, Weather and Climate Change conference in London.
