That's simply not the case. Between 12,000 and 10,000 BC, the earth went through a major "thaw." Sea levels worldwide increased up to 100 meters. Now, this change was much greater than anything that we have seen since industrialization. The eruption of the volcano Krakatoa accounted for short-term changes greater than anything seen caused by industrialization. The factors that account for climate are many and have never been accurately modeled. The climatologists can't even accurately model short-term weather; their best models are accurate out to three days or so.
