Not totally. There is a consistent pattern of it warming up after a glaciation, a peak is hit and then there is a noisy decline until the next. This is one chart that shows it.

Well that chart is backward (timewise, current to past), and there looks like there are some false starts of warming after glaciation. Falls from the big peaks look more like a sure thing - except the current cycle, where the peak does not seem to have been reached yet.

Looking at your chart, and thinking of a "planetary danger", by moving rapidly from the current temperatures (we have grown accustomed to), there seems to be a lot more danger on the down side (danger of Ice Age) than on the upside (warming too much).

There could be a >10C drop, and we would still be within the range, but only about 2 to 4C increase...
