First time I have heard the Eemian referred to as the “Last Interglacial”. Does anyone know whether the latter is standard terminology? Gotta get the lingo right.

Eemian is one of the many terms to describe the previous interglacial.

Either term can be used.

It's like saying Obama, or the president before Trump.

It’s pretty standard.
In fact I was thinking about this recently and that fact, by itself, proves that global warming does indeed happen...
once in a while,
and for relatively short periods of time.

In between long, dark periods of glaciation!
