Here's 4 examples where the melting of glaciers have revealed warmer temperatures prevailing in earlier times. Forests grew in those earlier times, eventually yielding to the cold climates including glaciers. Artifacts from ancient civilizations were also discovered.
<< Report from 2007: Ancient tree stumps found under Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Southeast Iceland are confirmed to be roughly 3,000 years old. Click Here << another 2007: Melting glaciers in Western Canada are revealing tree stumps up to 7,000 years old. Click Here << From 2010: Scientists think the forest on a treeless Arctic Island lived between ten and two million years ago. The frigid site is now surrounded by glaciers. The mummified forest resembles tree species of modern forests growing hundreds of miles to the south, suggesting the forest must have grown during a time when the Arctic was much warmer. Click Here << From 2018: Norway’s melting mountain glaciers have revealed well-preserved artifacts from ancient communities, spanning 6,000 years. They've uncovered thousands of objects that date as far back as 4,000 B.C., including wooden skis, near complete bronze-age arrows and wooden shafts, Viking swords, clothing and the skulls of pack horses.

YES the Earth temps were historically much warmer than today's uninhabited and glacier laden island of Greenland. And there's more examples elsewhere. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: YES We need to be thinking globally when examining temps. And also need to be thinking over the eons of scientific discoveries. Here's a copy of message about evidence of palm trees found in the Arctic circle and in Alaska. Such major swings in hot climates totally eclipse what others have posted about NOAA's rather small temp variations. Estimated temps were 25 F degrees higher than in the 1960's. Msg 1189639 back in July: Here's two reports about evidence of palm trees growing in the Arctic and in Alaska millions of years ago. A 2009 report describes finding palm tree pollen within the Arctic circle. The Arctic would have looked very similar to the vegetation we now see in Florida. The science implies that coldest month mean temperatures over the Arctic land masses were no less than 8 Celsius” (46.40F) A 2015 report describes a fossil of a palm tree frond (leaf) discovered in Alaska. Its estimated to be from the Jurassic era from 145 to 200 million yrs ago. U.S. Forest Service geologist Jim Baichtal said: "the earth was around 14 degrees Celsius (around 25 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than average 1960s temperatures, he said. In this case, the climate was so warm that there were palm trees in very far north latitudes. Both are evidence that current temperatures are now extremely cooler than earlier times in history. 2023 was NOT the hottest summer in history. Palm leaf fossil:
