That is just stupid.

There have been four major "ice ages" in the last 2 million years. The
last "ice age" began about 70,000 years ago, and ended 10,000 years
ago.

Please don't post any more of this foolishness until you bone up on
natural history, it makes you look foolish.


I suggest you do the same -- you know -- bone up on natural history
before making foolish posts... Look past the Pleistocene and the
Pliocene, in fact skip the whole Tertiary era and go back to the
Mesozoic. You will find periods of hundreds of millions years when the
Earth's environment was much warmer than now. Must have been all those
dinosaur farts that caused the global warming then :-)
