Reply to comment by Bushwhacker42 in Climate change: efforts to halt rise in global temperatures may be too late to save key glaciers, report warns by wmdolls
The last ice age ended at the start of the Holocene 11,700 years ago. There was a continued slow warming up until about 10,000 years ago. For the next 4000 years global temperatures were fairly static. About 6000 years ago temperatures again began to slowly decrease until the start of the industrial revolution. There are large changes in natural climate related to energy input and atmospheric constituents. Humanity is altering those atmospheric constituents.

Thank you this was actually very insightful! I’m going to do some more reading into this!
My son got really into dinosaurs, recently learned raptors lived closer to our era than they did to t-Rex. Crazy world history
