New Paper in Science: Sea level 81,000 years ago was 1 meter higher while CO2 was lower

***************************snip********************************

Sea-level rises and falls as Earth’s giant ice sheets shrink and grow. It has been thought that sea level around 81,000 years ago—well into the last glacial period—was 15 to 20 meters below that of today and, thus, that the ice sheets were more extensive. Dorale et al. (p. 860; see the Perspective by Edwards) now challenge this view. A speleothem that has been intermittently submerged in a cave on the island of Mallorca was dated to show that, historically, sea level was more than a meter above its present height. This data implies that temperatures were as high as or higher than now, even though the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was much lower.

I decided article linked at #16 was worthy of it's own thread:

The Mythical Global Warming

Thanks! I was aware of the “culling,” but it was interesting to see the graphs. One would expect an immediate jump in temps at the time of the culling. But we don’t see that. Rather we see a more gradual increase, rather than an instant spike. I suspect the gradual increase is the result of temperature reading “adjustments.” If there had been a spike, everyone would have connected it to the removal of stations from the data base. And that would have been painfully obvious! I’m very suspicious of warmers, and their data.

Anybody notice how lucky civilization has been to have had stable warm temperatures for the last 10,000 years for the only time in the last half-million and that if it starts to drop again we really would be doomed?

“notice how lucky civilization has been to have had stable warm temperatures”

Yes. I have noticed very much so.

Thanks E for the ping. I’m almost to tired to keep focused but the charts and guts of this article have been posted before, if memory serves me correctly. But regardless, such articles should be given a chance by growing numbers to see.

I’d love to see Beringia emerge again, myself.

When my boss, who is a big global warmist (or was. I haven’t heard a whole lot recently), talks about sea-level rise and the endangerment of coral reefs, I ask him what the coral did after the end of the last glacial period when temperatures increased by many degrees C over a few decades and sea levels rose meters per decade instead of centimeters per century. If they kept up with a 100 meter rise in sea levels, they can handle anything they’re experiencing now.

I think this study is not reliable and there was an error somewhere in the analysis, assumptions, or local land deformation at the time of the event.

Well it was simple observations....

They say those islands were stable relative to the teutonic plates.
