While the whole of the Holocene was a time of warmth relative to the previous 60-70,000 years, global climate was far from static during this period. Many warming and cooling episodes occurred on the 100-year timescale. Because these events are only observable through indirect or proxy evidence, which is both local and often poorly dated, we do not know how global mean climate changed. 1, record 1, English, - proxy%20evidence
