re: #251 Dark_Falcon

One idea is that we are actually in an interglacial and that there’s another Ice Age still to come.

That was the fad news story from the 70s, but what is the explanation for any suggestion we are heading into a cooling period? I don’t think we have a good explanation for the extreme variations in climate over the history of the earth. The best explanation I heard for how the earth gets out of an ice age is the slow accumulation of CO2 from volcanic eruptions eventually overwhelms the drive to melt the ice coverings. I haven’t heard a good explanation yet for why we head into an ice age to begin with.
