SINCE the last ice age. What did the interglacial look like before it?

Also, needs to explain why models have exaggerated temperature increases, and show they've altered the model based on those facts. When I was a kid in 1990 I was assured NYC would be underwater by now and Soylent Green would be in all Supermarkets.

If he's trying to tie in human activity to warming, ice ages do end, and there have been many ice ages in the modern. Our interglacial a little late if anything and seems to have room to increase to the high temps of pre-homo genus levels.

Here's a timeline I got from Utah Geological Society at Utah.gov, not a skeptic website:

By the way, notice the massive pre-industrial, pre-fossil fuel, and much of it no-homo-genus existant temperature swings.

Ha ha... Comics.... Yep, very Scientific!!!

You have to reach your audience at their level. Clearly you had no clue what scale of time you were showing on your other graph.

What was the fastest 2 degree centigrade rise on that graph? How does it compare to what we are seeing today?

Rews graph shows a dramatic increase in warming over the last two 100 year periods, coinciding with the industrial revolution. There were no similar spikes in the preceding two hundred 100 year periods. Some coincidence, huh?

Uhhhh.... how can you tell that? Both graphs differ in one important way.

Hint: Starts with an "S"
