What do you mean before humans?
The ice age didn't kill everything and everyone.

Note....Sea ice does not raise sea levels.

Bad News, CryoSat, a European Space Agency Earth-observing satellite, has found a sharp increase in the rate at which Antarctic land ice is melting—it’s losing a staggering 159 billion tons of ice every year. Previous measurements (made from 2005 to 2010) were lower, closer to 100 billion tons per year.

Polar ice loss: Antarctica melting faster, Greenland more vulnerable.

How about Greenland last 1000 years?



Climate Science Investigations South Florida - Temperature Over Time
Greenland’s volume of ice is being reduced at the rate of 375 cubic km a year.

So an "intergovernmental" organization dedicated to the promotion of space exploration is now an authority on climate change???

I'm sure I could post a Koch Bros article showing just the opposite. They'd be equally believable. Anytime I see the words "Intergovernmental Panel/Organization" I discount them as the propagandists they are.

Since what date?

What was the Greenland ice sheet doing from, say 1000 AD through 1200 AD?

Sure were. sanspeur's ancient ancestor was always bugging his neighbors, harangueing them to stop using trees to warm their caves.

Says Ancient sanspeur to Neighbor Uggh "dont you be lighting that campfire. Dont you know that burning trees causes global warming, and the ice sheets will melt??

See - AGW is true!

ROTFLMAO!
