<The intermediate portion of the record is dominated by large fluctuations in the mass of the Antarctic ice sheet, which first nucleates approximately 34 million years ago, then partially dissipates around 25 million years ago, before reexpanding towards its present state 13 million years ago. These fluctuations make it impossible to constrain temperature changes without additional controls. Significant growth of ice sheets did not begin in Greenland and North America until approximately 3 million years ago> Note that it is much, much colder now than then. We are in the midst of a cold period and at great risk of a reglaciation. C02 over 460,000 years is trivial. Check out 500 million years. Or even 3 million years. No ice sheet on Greenland for goodness sakes! Earth's climate varies over 10s of millions of years, not just a few hundred thousand. It's certainly not going to be the end of the world if Greenland's ice melts. Just move uphill a little over a century and no worries. Hmmm, odd typo I made here: <everybody where's* warm clothes and hides inside* > That must say something about how words are stored in brains [mine anyway]. Mqurice
