We live in COLD times: We live in the coldest period of the last 10.000 years , says glaciologist, Jørgen Peder Steffensen who take us back in time to the Greenland ice cores and reveals the secrets from the past. Temperatures in Greenland were about 1.5 C warmer 1000 years ago than now. It was perhaps 2.5 C warmer 4000 years ago. The period around 1875, at the lowest point of the Little Ice Age, marked the coldest point in the last 10,000 years. Other evidence from elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere confirms this picture. His final comment is particularly telling: “I agree totally we have had a global temperature increase in the 20th century, but an increase from what? ...Probably an increase from the lowest point in the last 10,000 years.” Steffensen concludes: “We started to observe meteorology at the coldest point in the last 10,000 years.” vimeo/14366077
