[Home] Current climate is typical only for interglacial periods of ice age cycles and ice age cycles represent a distinct minority of climate episodes that are mostly far warmer than even the interglacials. Our current interglacial (which began about 20,000 years ago and is due to end) has had numerous periods where it was warmer than today (the Medieval Warm Period being the most recent).

[The Daily Galaxy: Great Discoveries Channel : Science News, Tech News, Astronomy and Space Exploration] Polar Caps Threatened: Princeton/Harvard Study: Polar temperatures during this stage were likely 3 to 5 degrees Celsius (5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than today, as is expected to occur in the future if temperatures reach about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (about 4 to 6 degrees .Most notably, the last interglacial stage is relatively recent by geological standards, making it feasible for climate scientists to develop a credible sea level record for the period, and is the most recent time period when average global .

Small island nations seeking welfare and asylum for their citizens such as in socially generous New Zealand and Australia have no sea-level rise at all and in some cases see instead a drop.
[Socyberty] Climate Change - Questions Answered: Already more and more people are opening their eyes to the truth, that unfortunate term climate gate is now being used as the myth propagated by the IPCC. I wrote this twelve page document in early December 2009, adding the last page at the very end of 2009, following the global conference at Copenhagen, as a realist I can see the two sides of this ‘conflict’

Until we have a great big very bad event that is beyond doubt caused by climate change I can’t see hardcore deniers changing their tune.
[Signs of the Times] Scientific American's Climate Lies -- Signs of the Times News: Scientific American says that proxy evidence from numerous sources confirms that the planet has been warming, and that the National Research Council in 2006 found that temperature during the late 20th century was warmer than for 400 years. Scientific American does not say that the NRC report found that the "hockey-stick" graph reached a conclusion that was no better than "plausible", and that it had a statistical validation skill not significantly different from zero - in short, that it was worthless, a conclusion strongly endorsed by the report of three statisticians consulted by the Energy & Commerce Committee of the US House of Representatives.
[Skeptical Science] Hockey sticks, 'unprecedented warming' and past climate change: PeterPan at 00:18 AM on 25 December, 2009 The same as Chris said: WWT has added the global temperature record (0,6ºC), but Greenland has experienced much more warming than the global average. These two reconstructions clearly show a warming of more than 1 ºC, therefore, temperatures in Greenland are probably warmer now than they were in the MWP (in spite of the fact that the MWP was mainly focused on the North Atlantinc around Greenland):
[blogoir] Blogoir: Climate, Science And All That: For the last couple million years of the Quaternary Period you can see by looking at long term temperature graphs that the interglacial periods have been shorter than the glacial periods. Our civilization is very much a product of the current Holocene/Anthropocene interglacial period.
[Centurean2's Weblog] CLIMATE CHANGE “LIES” BY BRITAIN « Centurean2's Weblog: During the last interglacial period 125.000 years ago, temperatures in Greenland were 5 degrees higher and global sea level was 4-5 meters higher than it is today. However, since the new scientific results show that the ice sheet also covered southern Greenland, the melting of the Greenlandic ice cap can only have caused a sea level rise of about 2 meters.
[Cocktail Party Physics] Cocktail Party Physics: climate change and scientific behavior: You could also look at it in the way that ice ages are the normal condition of the planet on geologic time, and ice ages will kill many more people than the brief interglacial periods ever could, so we should do everything in our power to avoid that. That's at least as plausible as postulating that CO2 concentrations that are a small fraction of what they were only a few million years ago, will somehow this time cause runaway heating, unlike the many other times in the planet's history where it didn't.
