The Holocene Climate of Central Iceland

CO2 Science

One implication of the six researchers' findings is that it should not have been surprising to have seen the earth experience a 20th-century warming that climate alarmists like to characterize as having been "unprecedented," since during this period the planet was emerging from the coldest period of the current interglacial. Another implication is that it should not be surprising to see the earth continue to warm in the future, as it has not yet reached the level of warmth it experienced for a few millennia during the central portion of the Holocene. In addition, an equivalent degree of future warming should not have inordinately bad consequences for earth's plant and animal life, since all species living on the planet today obviously survived the much warmer temperatures characteristic of the Holocene Thermal Maximum.
