I saw an article today that mentioned: "Officially, for the past 11,700 years we have been living in the Holocene epoch. From the Greek for ‘totally new’, the Holocene is an eyeblink in geological time. In its nearly 12,000 years, plate tectonics has driven the continents a little more than half a mile: a reasonably fit person could cover the scale of planetary change in a brisk eight-minute walk. It has been a warm time, when temperature has mattered as much as tectonics. Sea levels rose 115 feet from ice melt, and northern landscapes rose almost 600 feet, as they shrugged off the weight of their glaciers." [1] I'm curious how current climate trends fit in with what seems to be a time period that overall has been warming up accompanied by rising seas. Can someone point me to some resources to help me make sense of human-caused global warming versus normal global warming?
