My observations.
10 - 12 Thousand years ago civilization was just getting started.
They did not have cars back then.
They must have polluted extensively, why else would the levels be approximately the same as today’s environment?
The population of the planet was a mere (Partial) percentage of what it is today and yet the planet temperature is about the same. It just feels like it is warmer because we have to deal with so many more dunder heads then they did 12,000 years ago.
Man has little effect on temperature (globally at least). Earth is much more powerful than all the little bugs crawling around on its surface (ie - us).
Not necessarily. If you look at the Antarctic ice core data, which spans several ice ages, you see that each interglacial maximum is a little cooler than the previous max. So, the Holocene may never reach the high tempeature of the Eemian.
If the human race survives the next ice age, the long term cooling trend should be very worrying.
