This made me think of a book plot I'd like read: melting ice reveals a sign "we've been in this situation, at this point you've got 5 years to revert the climate trend or die".

In hindsight (which, after all, is 20/20), it would have made sense to keep a set of backup generators on the top of the reactor building, just in case a tsunami came a-knocking.
Yes, it's definitely a message from peoples of olden ages.
And found quite a few other articles about glacier archaeology, like this one: https://climateaudit.org/2005/11/18/archaeological-finds-in-...
As it dates back from 2005... I'm not sure the parent one will spark any doubt either
During the holocene, (last 10,000 years, ie after the ice age) Northern Europe has seen much warmer temperatures than the average of last century. Finland had oak forests in the stone age five thousand years ago. And there were much colder periods than now in between etc. Currently there's a lot of old oaks only in the warmest most favorable locations and forests are mostly pine. After all they take centuries to grow. But oak is again spreading.
A block of what appears to be encoded language is found in the DNA of virtually all organisms. It includes a primer with a key to decoding it.
After years and years of work by the world’s greatest cryptographers, the message is deciphered. It reads:
“Danger! Extremely hazardous self-replicating agents! For hazardous waste cleanup use only. In case of spill or uncontrolled replication, contact...”
I wonder what kind of hazardous waste life was meant to clean up..? And what was the contact address!??
Interestingly, Norse Mythology centers around Frost Giants signalling the end of the world. They feared the ice returning.
Why do you think that is?
Colder climates make Scandinavian peninsula uninhabitable (e.g. as it was during Weichselian glaciation) and local warming would likely even be helpful for the long-term habitability and agriculture of that particular region (unlike the much more populated areas in warmer climates), the costs and risks for Nordic countries mainly come from the change as such, requiring adaptation.
The Norse people who were living in the northern parts of modern Norway would probably prefer if these lands had the climate of current Oslo area or Denmark, not fear that.

But according to Völuspá, after the Fimbul winter there will be a big battle and the fire giant Surt will set the world on fire with his flaming sword. So you get both ice and fire!
If you are interested there is an English translation of Völuspá here: http://www.voluspa.org/voluspa.htm
