The Late Holocene starts about 4,250 years ago, during a massive drought that struck Eurasia and destroyed several ancient societies.

Scientists have resolved a controversial but key climate change mystery, bolstering climate models and confirming that Earth is hotter than it's been in at least 12,000 years, and perhaps even the ...

Several mechanisms have been proposed for this ‘anomalous’ late Holocene trend. First, that emissions from circum-Arctic wetlands increased in a slow response to warmer, stable Holocene ...

Holocene temperature trends in the Arctic are unclear. An isotope record from ice wedges in Siberia suggests that winters have warmed since the mid-Holocene, whereas summer temperatures have cooled.

There are also high temperatures until about 6,000 years ago, when a decline of temperature started and led to the lowest values in the first stage of the late Holocene (about 4,200 and 2,000 ...

They kept referring to the remarkably rapid environmental changes of the late Holocene. Exasperated, Crutzen finally broke into the discussion: “We aren’t in the Holocene anymore, ...

Consensus attributes the switch, known as the late Holocene rainforest crisis (LHRC), to a drying climate, but an anthropogenic origin has also been proposed.
