I found the info, I was looking for the 1 billion year ice age that Torie mentioned, that did not sound right. Three 50-100 million year ice ages, currently 4 millions years into another one. 20,000 years from last mini event peak and it could be we are heading for another mini peak, not Global warming but a deep freeze.

"it could be we are heading for another mini peak, not Global warming but a deep freeze."

I can remember in th 70's when that was the scare.

There's an interesting article in the Scientific American this month about 1/3rd of all living mass on the earth is underground in the bottom of the oceans...and has more impact on GW/climate than humans ever will.

Google "Snowball Earth" for the grandaddy of all ice ages about 600-700 mya.
