The global mean temperature at that time is thought to have reached about 1 °C warmer than the Holocene warming.

You keep ignoring the fact that there is no evidence for methane burps associated with conditions in the relatively recent past (early Holocene, Eemian) for which there is good evidence for warmer Arctic conditions than now, and you are happy to extrapolate emissions of a few Tg (at most) to values 1000 times larger on the basis of nothing very much.

The point here isn't that anybody can prove that there has never been this extent of Greenland melting at some prior time in the Holocene, but that all of these indicators taken together (Arctic temperatures, low sea ice extent in summer * and * winter, permafrost melting, decreased snow cover, Greenland melting) indicate that the Arctic as a whole really is warming in an exceptional way.
