rubbish. 125,000 years ago the arctic was ice FREE. over the last two million years we have gone through cycles of glacial and interglacial periods. we are in an interglacial period now, since we have been warming since the last glacial period. these are NATURAL cycles that have been happening for the last two million years roughly.
Of course there have been natural cycles in the climate...Nobody is denying that, but the present warming is not part of any natural cycle...
The next earliest era when the Arctic was quite possibly free of summertime ice was 125,000 years ago, during the height of the last major interglacial period, known as the Eemian. Temperatures in the Arctic were higher than now and sea level was also 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 feet) higher than it is today because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets had partly melted. Because of the burning of fossil fuels, global averaged temperatures today are getting close to the maximum warmth seen during the Eemian. Carbon dioxide levels now are far above the highest levels during the Eemian, indicating there is still warming to come.

once again a nice try but an abject failure on the AGW alarmists part. why is it that previous cycles are natural, but now that man is around, they are no natural? this warming period started out as part of the natural cycle, and it is still COOLER now than this time during the last inter glacial period.
Anyone remember when hurricanes were hurricanes? Don't get nothing anymore
