We aren't in the Holocene?
Just how much mileage do you think you can squeeze out of that "ice-free Arctic" meme?
Maybe he should watch this.......but it won't change his mind......:grin:
How much mileage can you get from CO2?
Are we or are we not in the Holocene?
We is.
you really want to say something about the 'Holocene optimum'... why not just say it? Why are you such a tease? :lol: By the by, what was the cause(s) of warming during that period... and how does that apply in relation to today's relatively recent warming?
the same questions await you.... why are you avoiding them? You so are the HoloceneMan, yet you refuse to answer my questions concerning the causal tie to Holocene Optimum warming and how you believe that correlates with today's relatively recent warming. Why are you so deflecting of those questions? Just answer them, HoloceneMan!
What is normal ice extent?
it's the typical year-to-year re-growth of first-year ice... that, in turn, is the first ice to melt in the subsequent melting phase. As I answered your question, care to comment on the fixation with a single year (extent only), while ignoring the massive loss of ice over the decades... while refusing to acknowledge the long-term melting trends, both extent and volume?
On purpose? I grabbed the Wikipedia one. Go swap mine out for your's on Wikipedia if you feel it is better or the one used on there is jaded.
There are oodles of graphs. That is why you can't argue using graphs and why people make fun of you for using graphs.
