Ice-free Arctic -- 6000 years ago

Perhaps the silliest thing about the modern global warming debate is that we're trying to evaluate major climate changes in eye-blinks of time such as 10 or 30 years. The big Ice Age cycle lasts about 90,000 years, the last one ended about 12,000 years ago. El Ninos last a year of two and change nothing, climate-wise. The Weather Channel can (sort of) predict ten days out.
Yet the UN panel's claims of man-made warming are based on an "unprecedented warming" that was only 22 years long, 1976–1998. There's been no trace of a warming trend since. There was, however, an earlier "unprecedented warming" from 1915–1940 -- before the Industrial Revolution started seriously raising the C02 levels. ..................http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/ ... arctic.htm
