They weren’t. Local temperatures were recorded to within a few degrees based on the effects on the landscape and ecosystem, and the precision is an automatic artifact of taking a global average of local temperatures which covary within similar tolerance ranges.
How were the effects of temperature on the landscape and ecosystem of 125000 years ago determined? While you are failing to explain that you can also fail to explain how the global averages of local temps were calculated for 125000 years ago? My guess is that you are confusing the present with the past, a clear example of erratic time perception found in schizophrenic individuals.
That is not an academic source, it even says so
Wikipedia was not my source, agent 130.
You used a newspaper article that quoted NASA. I know you think that NASA has more and better info on the nature of the Universe and Earth planetary science then the average human, in my case they do not, in your moronic case they actually may. I fully understand that because NASA says it that in your mind it must be correct, but NASA has no more understanding as to what the temps were 125,000 years ago before the last ice age then the next man. That said their reasoning follows the logic that your brain can not employ. It is logical that the last time it was as warm as it is now would be before the beginning of the last ice age which was 110,000 years ago. So from 110,000bc to 20000bc the temps dropped and glaciation expanded. From 20000bc to the present the Earth has been warming, that trend puts us at the warmest point in at least 110,000 years or as NASA speculated 125,000 years. I do not disagree with this as it follows logical trend patterns and actually indicates that the temperature now should be the hottest in all of human recorded history which is under 20000 years.
I can guarantee that NASA understands planetary science better than you.
I was not wrong, the glacial maximum was 20000 years ago, it was also the coldest point in the last 20000 years. Therefore it's way colder than it was 10000 years ago now because glaciation is currently melting inches per year instead of in tenths of mile amounts. Thus logic dictates that since less melting is happening that it is colder now then from 20000bc to 10000bc when the massive melt happened. The fact is that massive temp fluctuations have happened thru all of earth history, it is warming now, it will be warming for the foreseeable future because Earthtime is not measured in human generations, meaning it could be hundreds to tens of thousands of human generations before it cools again.
Cut-and-Paste Science
Congratulations, it was on average a bit warmer at 45 degrees N where the edge of the ice at the time you are speaking of than it is at 65 degrees N where the edge of the ice is now.

Actually the current temperature spike is the VERY FIRST EVER RECORDED. Not saying it's the first just the first one since humans have had thermometers.
Again, you ignore the question of just wHERE on Earth it was that hot. Thermometers are one way of taking a measurement. Ice cores (for example) are also functionally speaking thermometers.Actually the current temperature spike is the VERY FIRST EVER RECORDED. Not saying it's the first just the first one since humans have had thermometers.
Again, 20000 years ago it was massively cold, but from 20000bc to 10000bc it was massively warm, in fact it was hot enough to melt a thousand miles of glaciation. It is far colder then that now or the ice would have continued to melt from 10000bc to the present leaving the Earth iceless if the temps did not cool.

Now NASA didn't know the chemical properties of Oxygen, but you listen to them
The dumb [Unwelcome language removed] astronauts who also did not know that O2 dramatically increases combustion burned to death while alive. Thus a muffler guy from Meineke is brighter than the turds at NASA.
Feel free to listen to NASA, but I have my own mind, as do my Son's
Neandertals are not extinct they interbred with Cuomo Sapiens and were incorporated into our DNA.
We probably both do have Neanderthal genes since most whites do.
Again there is no way for a melted glaciers ice to record temps. Again from 20000bc to 10000bc 1000 latitudinal miles of 1000 to 2000 feet thick glaciation melted. This is far hotter then it is today because latitudinal glacial melt is currently measured in inches per year. From 20000bc to 10000bc the melt rate was 0.189 miles per year or 997.92 average feet per year. Thus it is far cooler now.
No one was talking about the beginning of the universe, although the Big Bang theory appears pretty well established (if not as well established as, say, AGW) from where I’m sitting.
Wrong again, as the genes have been identified so there is no probably about it.
If that is true then it was hotter than 100F from 20000bc to 10000bc proving what I said which is that it is far cooler now than then.
Are you aware that NJ and everything North of it was covered in 2000 feet of Glacier 20000 years ago? Your 1850 number if true is still fractional to the previous melt.
