Greenland peat deposit shows continent was largely ice free during interglacial

Show all headers | View raw

Another core peat deposit from the north of Greenland gas been dated to MIS11 about 430 Kyr ago. Sea levels were +5 m in the MIS 5e interglacial 123KYr ago and +15m in the MIS11 one which was about twice the length of time allowing for more ice cap melting ,

 This was long before any human input into CO2 levels so it baffling why people seem to assume Net Zero will stop sea level rise – it won't  ! (unless there is another glacial inception) these rises and falls are  normal part of the 100 Kyr eccentricity insolation cycle . The only scope for discussion is the timing -what is clear is that it is the reckless human occupation of the planet that is the real problem in that all the worlds coastal plains which house 60% of the population have a 90% probability of being underwater in the next 5 K yr (or much sooner if there is a Heinrich ice slide as occurs ) . 

Net Zero is a delusional fantasy that is diverting attention  from  the reality  that only a significant  reduction  in the impact of the HR  can save the planet from a major extinction event .

DESMODUS   ( It is likely that the MIS11 warm phase was like the previous one ended by a Heinrich ice surge event as terminal MIS11 raised beach depostits can contain exotic ice rafted debris )
