> ...you'll see that temperatures swung as much as 8C during the ice age. The last glacial period itself covers some 100,000 years. I could have phrased it better, I'm talking about the temperature difference between the end of the last age and the current day. > ...Dansgaard-Oeschger events The recorded temperature swings are local rather than global, global temperature does not rise by five degrees in a matter of decades unless something catastrophic happens. > There's thousands of papers on the Little Ice Age. It certainly shows up all over the world in the fossil record. Yes, but average global temperatures were barely affected.
