The problem of present-day global warming is not the absolute
temperature but rather the rate of change. It doesn't matter whether
it was somewhat warmer in the early Holocene; what does matter is that
climate, ocean acidity, etc. are changing faster than many organisms
(including many humans) can easily adjust.
