So.... Greenland was melting faster than now in say, 10,000 BC, right?

  Is that the case, or is it that the method used here can't "see" prior to that ice age to predict things based on formation or rock placement, etc?

  Yes. Since then humanity has developed agriculture and become reliant on a stable climate to produce the calories need to sustain our enormous population. Sadly human activity has thrown the systems massively out of equilibrium. Such rapid climate change is going to seriously impact your and my lifestyle.

    "rapid" enough to seriously impact your and my lifestyle. If global temperature did happen to rise 2 degrees over the next 100 years, what massive impacts to our lifestyle will be occurring in your expert opinion?
