ElM, take a look at the cycle of interglacials over the last half dozen of them. They don't last much more than 10,000 years and NONE get near 60,000 years. Where on Earth [or in space] do you get such a number? Yes, it takes 2000 years for the ocean to cool much. It's about 1600 years from when water goes down the gurgler at the end of the Gulf Stream to when it gets back to the same point again. So yes, the heat reservoir takes a very long time to cool down. But the cooling starts over a period of a few years and it starts being very obvious where snow is covering the ground. It doesn't matter to a farmer with crops covered in snow in June and again in August if it's still really warm 5 kilometres under the ocean surface. Heat down there is no use to the farmer buried in snow alongside the Rideau River, or around Stockholm, or hoping for a harvest across the north of Russia. Mqurice
