Hey Ernest,
Thanks for the posts. I have been working a lot. Just enough time to keep up the home front.
Having studied this, more scientists are leaning to a period around 16,000 years ago as the first initial warming and glacier melt from the last ice age.
Ironically, the polar ice cap began on the continents millions of years ago as the Tectonic plates began to move or an area where they were all joined was one of the polar ice caps. India, Brazil and such were all part of this initical glacier action millions of years ago with all the plates were joined at the hip.
So where are we now, for the last 2,000 years the earth has overall cooled a few degrees based on tree-ring research. Right now, other than for the drought, we are in a warm period that is coming to an end and the cooling period will be over around 2035 before we warm up again.
I said that to say this, stock up on canned food and wood.

Guess Al Gore will need to increase his advertising budget.
