While it might be true that the period of warming was indeed far more dramatic, than even the worst possible AGW climate change scenarios, at the end of the last Ice Age, it's also been pointed out many times on this site that anthropogenic effects on climate change ARE real, and are causing problems, right now.

If you'd like some decent information on climate change, here's a couple of tips: stay very far away from ANY site that proclaims gloom-and-doom, the supposed "inevitable" total end of all civilization, etc. Not only are they nuts in most cases, but they're also making legitimate supporters of the science, like myself and many others here, look very, very bad with all the B.S. they throw out; people such as David Wasdell, Guy McPherson, and Malcolm P.R. Light, and many others of this clique(I call them the wannabe Cassandras: they wish they were predictors of the truth but all they are is just cuckoo, whether they know it or not.) would be better off as posters on Above Top Secret or Godless Productions or some other fringe weirdo place.

If you want a good site, skepticalscience.com might just be the gold standard in this regard. I also suggest you google the name of GreenMan3610, a guy from Mich. who's made many a good video explaining the science on YouTube.
