You're right Harry, now it seems it could be more like 50,000 yrs before the
next ice age according to "
...The Earth is in an interglacial period now, known as the Holocene. It was
conventional wisdom that "the typical interglacial period lasts about 12,000
years" but now appears to be incorrect from the evidence of ice core
records. Therefore, it has been widely contradicted recently; for example,
an article in Nature[4] argues that the current interglacial might be most
analogous to a previous interglacial that lasted 28,000 years.
Howdy Michel..
Perhaps there's a link here Michel.. by link I mean to the Neanderthal
sitting over in the corner in the Dime Box saloon. Been there since the ice
age.. Never says anything but at least he doesn't complain about the
weather. He knows when his beer gets hot and when they turn off the lights..
but.. like most of us, he don't get to upset about what goes on outside cuz
there ain't much he can do about it. A drunk don't ride bicycles.
