during the Eemian period 130,000 to 115,000 thousand years ago the climate in Greenland was around 8 degrees C warmer than today.
Wow everybody must have been driving muscle cars and heavy duty pickup trucks then,
Yep; global warming is fact! Got it you bunch of deniers!

The good news from this study is that the Greenland ice sheet is not as sensitive to temperature increases and to ice melting and running out to sea in warm climate periods like the Eemian, as we thought explains Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and adds that the bad news is that if Greenlands ice did not disappear during the Eemian then Antarctica must be responsible for a significant portion of the 4-8 meter rise in sea levels that we know occurred during the Eemian.
Or your facts about the 4-8 meter rise in sea level are incorrect.

The Alien copper mining operations in the Great Lakes region must have been using a lot of fossil fuel guzzling motor vehicles!!!!! LOL - Because without artificial increase of CO2 it is just not possible for it to have been that warm. /sarc

Such surface melting has occurred very rarely in the last 5,000 years, but the team observed such a melting during the summer of 2012 when they were in Greenland. Great! Is that when they began to see the farms that used to be there during the Middle Ages? Whenever the ice melts, they always seem to find settlements from when Greenland was somewhat thriving. Nowadays its far too cold for such activity.

“...the bad news is that if Greenlands ice did not disappear during the Eemian then Antarctica must be responsible for a significant portion of the 4-8 meter rise in sea levels that we know occurred during the Eemian.”
And this is bad news because...? The ice sheet in Antarctica is getting thicker. There is some melting on the perimeters, but overall, the ice mass is increasing, not decreasing.

But if it was 8 degrees warmer than today there should have been NO ICE WHATSOEVER!!!! I am calling bunk on this because the the greenies said that if the TEMP goes 2 degrees WARMER than today ALL THE ICE IN GREENLAND WOUKLD MELT!!!!

The new results show that during the Eemian period 130,000 to 115,000 thousand years ago the climate in Greenland
was around 8 degrees C warmer than today.Best part right there. (FWIW that's about 16 degrees farenheit warmer)

The ice is a stack of layer upon layer of annual snow fall which never melts away, and as the layers gradually sink, the snow is compresses into ice. This gives thousands of annual ice layers that, like tree rings, can tell us about variations in past climate from year to year.
Wrong. They assume these are annual. A few warm days and refreeze will cause the same effect.
The P-38 fighters found in Greenland a few years back were under 300+ rings in the ice cores. The scientists had egg on the face when they "confirmed" 300+ annual rings only to later be hold they sat on top of aircraft landed during WW2.

The evidence is mounting higher and higher that Anthropomorphic Global Warming is pure unadulterated bunk.
If you are not a AGW denier you are not paying attention or you are receiving a grant to study climate change.

So if the ice sheet has never melted in the last 115,000 years, how did the Vikings find this to be a ‘Greenland’? I’m calling for more thought.

“In the beginning of the Eemian, 128,000 years ago, the ice sheet in northwest Greenland was 200 meters higher than today, but during the warm Eemian period the ice mass regressed, so 122,000 years before now the surface had sunk to a level of 130 meters below the current level.”
