New Study: Greenland Was 3-7°C Warmer And Far Less Glaciated Than Today 6000-8000 Years Ago
By Kenneth Richard on 12. January 2026

A large portion of the Greenland ice sheet that is today over 500 m thick did not exist during the Early to Mid Holocene.
Prudhoe Dome (PD), a 2500 km² section of northwestern Greenland’s ice sheet (GIS), is today 500 to 600 m thick (Walcott-George et al., 2026).

Approximately 6000-8000 years ago, or when atmospheric CO2 was alleged to be ~260 ppm, PD had deglaciated completely, exposing the soil to sunlight.

The primary mechanism for the PD deglaciation was the estimated 3-7°C warmer-than-present regional temperatures. This warming and the consequent ice cap minima was said to be  “Arctic-wide”.

Starting ~4000 years ago the GIS gradually began thickening until it recently reached its modern glaciated state, with glaciation peaking in the 1800s.

I hear democrats are filing a lawsuit in California to have the science overturned.

More walrus farts back then, before the Vikings arrived.

Warmistas don't want people figuring this out, but those thousand-year-old ruins of settlements being found that were once covered by glaciers that have melted mean Those areas of Greenland were, a mere thousand years ago, warmer that those areas are now. Erik the Red did not name it "Greenland" as a cruel joke.
