What is wrong with using standard Gregorian dates, or Hebrew years, or something that is NOT a relative measurement. /rant off
Thanks for posting this. I've always been interested in the Younger Dryas era and the following warming.

Do you love the first graph that has wild temperature swings, and there is a teensy weensy blip with an arrow pointed at the present with a label “global warming”? Also, note that the temperature of the little ice age appears to be higher than our current temperature.

Don-Its true that events like the younger dryas do not appear to be orbitally forced, but good agreement has been shown between the rate of change of global ice volume and the near Arctic circle summer insolation. It is certainly clear that some spikes of rapid change exceed what would be expected from Milakovitch alone, but I wouldnt be so quick to say that the Milankovitch theory of the glaciations is dead at all. The long term correlation is quite good. We just need to invoke other factors for some episodes that deviate from the right Milankovitch model.
Very nice, comprehensive thread on the glitch coming out of the Wisconsin Ice Age. Thanks!
They could not take advantage of their success however because Obama traveled back in time and drove them off.
So the sun did it?
Not "Ug" Gore, the global warming cave man with his stone-age hockey sticks telling fellow troglodytes they had to stop cutting down trees for fire, and burning fields to catch game?
I always thought it was Ug and his mamma Ob (aka Ob-mamma) who ended stone-age man made global warming, reversed the rising sea levels, thus creating the Garden of Eden in the Persian Gulf... ?
So now after all these years, you tell us Ug Gore and his Ob-mamma have been getting credit they didn't deserve?
Well, then shhhhhhhhhh... don't tell anybody else.
