That's a lot of conjecture from Futurecunt for happening in order 20,000 years ago. But, it's irrelevant even if true. We don't even have any ocean current disruptions today. But we do have a Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) that is turning cold for the next 30-40 years. And, we have a sun that is going into a quiet cycle that will cool the earth for decades and possibly longer from the 200 year cycle.Quote from Lucrum:

A 2012 study by Shakun et al. looked at temperature changes 20,000 years ago (the last glacial-interglacial transition) from around the world and added more detail to our understanding of the CO2-temperature change relationship. They found that:
The Earth's orbital cycles trigger the initial warming (starting approximately 19,000 years ago), which is first reflected in the the Arctic.
This Arctic warming caused large amounts of ice to melt, causing large amounts of fresh water to flood into the oceans.
This influx of fresh water then disrupted the Atlantic Ocean circulation, in turn causing a seesawing of heat between the hemispheres. The Southern Hemisphere and its oceans warmed first, starting about 18,000 years ago.
The warming Southern Ocean then released CO2 into the atmosphere starting around 17,500 years ago, which in turn caused the entire planet to warm via the increased greenhouse effect.
Overall, about 90% of the global warming occurred after the CO2 increase.

The fact is that CO2 levels have gone up 35% in the last 150 years due to man. The fact is that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. How could that NOT make temps go up? It's a very simple common sense thing......... that a ten year can understand, but that jem and pisspoor can't understand. Truly amazing.
