So, you don't believe in evolution, then, since history started when the written word was invented, right? Before that, no facts existed...
The availability of written records is generally how you tell apart historic and prehistoric times. That's why we have both words.

I didnt state an opinion, I asked you why scientists had to fudge the numbers to get a conclusion of global warming when just a few decades ago they were predicting the oncoming ice age..

You of course didnt answer..

I have no idea if it's larger than the largest Greyhounds. Even if it is, it's not THAT much bigger. They need a few dozen aircraft carriers.

On this topic, it seems that there's a lot of people who find instant fame and then instant rejection in the world of political whims. One day they're hot, the next they're not, and the day after that, forgotten or maybe even hated. This is true of all political movements not grounded in solid ideas, and that's not JUST liberalism.

Actually its through scientific studies, like researching the different layers of the earth, since the written record is such a short period of time.

I never said you stated an opinion. The only one stating an opinion here is Coleman and he is nothing more than a journalist who is wrong.

I didn't answer your question because I didn't care about your question. There are more than enough threads about what you are asking, I am sure you can find my answer there, now try to stay on topic.

What is the significance, then?

After all, the "written word" is so short of a timescale, according to you evolutionists, that it is simply a minute point of the entirety of climate history. Ergo, meaningless.

I know you didn't argue that it's "historic" just to be entertaining... but since you know that time period means nothing in terms of climate history, were you trying to be deceptive, or were you just trying to muddy the water?

And if AGW researchers could predict tomorrow's weather today, they would always be right. Never mind the climate 20 years hence.

What's the hottest Earth's ever been? | NOAA Climate.gov

Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has sometimes been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Another “warm age” is a period geologists call the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred about 56 million years ago.

Earth’s hottest periods—the Hadean, the late Neoproterozoic, the PETM—occurred before humans existed.

And yet we have people who believe that humans are the cause of "climate change"..

And do you know the difference between climate and weather? Climate scientists aren't in the business of telling if it will rain tomorrow or not.

If you are going to state Coleman is wrong then you must answer why those who say he's wrong, had to LIE to come to the conclusion you believe is correct.

Your failure to answer means you just bought into the talking points like everything else you post without giving it personal incite and doing your own research.
