Temperature during the recent instrumented data period
1880-2011

These temperatures are well inside the range of the the past ten thousand years. We are in the most recent of many warming periods that we have had during the past 10k years. The low sea ice extents and record snows that we have had during the past decade are indicators that temperature is near the peak of this warming.
