1:44Now PlayingContrary to modern assumptions, the Holocene—the last 10,000 years—was not a time of steady climate.
Hubert Lamb identified four major climate epochs:
1️⃣ The Postglacial Optimum
2️⃣ The Iron Age Cold Period
3️⃣ The Medieval Warm Period
4️⃣ The Little Ice Age
Even the Arctic Ocean may have been ice-free in summer.
The past wasn’t stable. So why assume the present is?
