We are currently in a almost 11,000 year old interglacial period; 100,000 years of expanding glaciers, 10,000 to 15,000 years of relative warm. The differential between the 2 periods is as much as 10 degrees centigrade. We are on declining slope of our current interglacial period that mankind was fortunate enough to live in. In the last 2,000 years we have oscillated between warm and cooler periods (~2 degrees difference) lasting ~400 years: Roman warm period, the cooler Dark Ages, the Medievil warm period, the Little Ice age, and finally the modern warm period. In 1715, the world came out of the Mauder Minimum, the coldest period of the Little Ice age that lasted 70 years. Thus for the last almost 300 years, we have been warming at a gentle, non threatening rate. Superimposed on this gentle rate is ~60 year oscillation that can mean as much as a change of 0.5 degrees; we warming for 30 years, then cooling. 1975 - 2001 was the warming portion of the 60 years cycle; 1947 - 1975 was cooling; 2001 - ? is again cooling. Soon, the modern warm period will be in its decling phase and a longer period of cooling of 400 years will occur. Of course this ignores the deadly possibility that we may soon enter a 100,000 years of expanding ice. CO2 is a trivial player in this scheme; look to the sun for your cause of temperature change. One final thought, cold is deadly; warm is life giving. Why cant’t so called scientist look at the big picture.
