Earth isn’t the only planet grappling with climate change, although this other orb doesn’t have much in the way of fossil fuel emissions or a 97 percent of scientific “consensus” on global warming.
Newly published evidence suggests Mars is experiencing global warming as it emerges from an ice age.
NOBODY denies climate change caused by the natural cycles of the sun.

“Ok fine well its real but its not our fault”
To
“Ok fine Its human caused but its done by the deep state to create mass chaos for the liberals to takeover the planet!”
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.
As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.
Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.
″Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara?″ he said.

The difference is today governments, especially in Europe are charging climate changes taxes to businesses and individuals often doubling their electricity costs with the tax. What they do with the tax revenue that helps whatever problem they think we have is a mystery.
I posted it for the benefit of all those out there who don't know the difference between climate and weather, who think the fact that we had a cold snap disproves global warming. When the ice sheets and ice caps at both the north and south poles are consistently melting, over years, then yes, the climate is warming, despite your cold winter.
The climate is changing. We just don't know to the degree how much.

That's because average global temperatures were 73.7°F, not the current 58.4°F.
Also, note that CO2 levels during the last Inter-Glacial peaked at 287 ppm CO2.
Why is it so damn cold during this Inter-Glacial?
You forgot part of your highlight:
...the climate in Greenland was around 8 degrees C warmer than today during the last interglacial period...
Then you act like the AVERAGE GLOBAL TEMPT of 58.4 today is so much colder than the average Global temp of Eemian when it is the LOCAL temp of Greenland during the Eemian.
The average Global temp of that period was 1-2C higher.
Furthermore, from your paper what happened to the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet as a result of this warming?
Between 128,000 and 122,000 years ago, the thickness of the northwest Greenland ice sheet decreased by around 400 metres, reaching surface elevations 122,000 years ago of 130 metres lower than the present. Extensive surface melt occurred at the NEEM site during the Eemian, a phenomenon witnessed when melt layers formed again at NEEM during the exceptional heat of July 2012. With additional warming, surface melt might become more common in the future.
You think that is where we might be headed?
So to answer your question: Why is it so damn cold during this Inter-Glacial? It really is not so much colder BUT even if it was as I noted earlier in the videos, that you don't watch of course, CO2 precedes tempts. And since CO2 has gone up (by approx. 100ppm) rapidly in a relatively short time you would think that the rise in tempt of 1-2C will follow.
Some 125,000 years ago, during the last brief warm period between ice ages, Earth was flooded, with sea levels 6 to 9 meters higher than they are today. Temperatures during this time, called the Eemian, were barely higher than in today's greenhouse-warmed world. Scientists have now identified the source of all that water: a collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Glaciologists worry about the present-day stability of this formidable ice mass. Its base lies below sea level, at risk of being undermined by warming ocean waters, and glaciers fringing it are retreating fast. The discovery, teased out of a sediment core and reported at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, D.C., provides evidence that the ice sheet disappeared in the recent geological past under climate conditions similar to today's. The Eemian is not a perfect analog, as its sea levels were likely driven by slight changes in Earth's orbit and spin axis. But the work, if it holds up, could suggest the recent melt at the ice sheet is the start of a similar collapse, rather than a short-term variation.
