Today,
we seem far from any
similar warming event
The local “eustatic” changes in sea level plotted against the well-dated bog stratigraphy of Aaby (1976) with the
regional RY-surfaces emphasised. The vector line indicates a perfect correlation between rapid sea level
regressions and regional RY-surfaces (red squares). This implies that the rapid regressions (following PTM-7, 9 and
10) were the function of short periods of extreme regional dryness (Mörner, 1999), known as “recurrence
surfaces” (RY) in bogs.

Consequently,
there is no strong reason (if any) to advocate
an anthropogenic forcing for the present warming.
