But we are nowhere close to matching any of those conditions presently. And that was at the peak of the Eemian. Chances are we have already passed the peak of this current interglacial and we will begin the slow slide back into glaciation.
The .5 degree anomaly that they parrot is based on a "normal" temperature period of about 30 years from the 50's to the 80's. That "normal" temperature is still well below the peak temperatures of this interglacial.
This whole thing is a smoke-and-mirrors poloically driven and motivated shell game.

i'm not looking at it politically, and i'm not suggesting temp change is THE catalyst. in fact, i think the politicization of the science went horribly wrong when the politicians tied pollution to temp.
but that's beside the point, the cause and effects of the global climate include wide variances, when there is a small degree in temp change, there are other changes that are significant.
