It's true the edges of the ice age are indistinct, and the maximum is quite different from the beginning of the end of the glacial or the beginning of the balmy climate. But the interglacial sort of refers to when the edge of the ice had stopped heading north. That was 10,000 years ago. When there is no snow on the ground is when it's tolerable for humans. As soon as snow is on the ground for 9 months of the year, crops are not going to be much use. It doesn't even take 11 months of snow to make it uninhabitable [other than as residence for oil exploration or polar bear hunting]. CO2 was stripped from the atmosphere and the carbon buried for millions of years, leaving a thin gruel, making cooling and glaciation the norm. With CO2 back in the air, hopefully we'll avoid reglaciation. Because there has been such limited response to the increase from 280 ppm to 380 ppm [at most 0.7 C] it seems we might not have done enough to avoid reglaciation. There is little sign of the runaway Greenhouse Effect the Alarmists describe, with metres of sea level rise, and frequent hurricanes of huge intensity. There were strong winds in New York recently but that was a joke, not a hurricane. Mqurice
