“I also did not realize that our most recent glacial was colder than the previous three glacials.”
Yep, they have been hiding the long term facts all along. They try to limit the data to from only the last iceage. THIS is what they need to be called out on because this chart is from THEIR OWN DATA and science.
I was trying to find the one that shows the same but it also shows the corresponding CO2 levels. They were also much much higher during the past warmer interglacials.
But that one, which came from NOAA it’s self has been scrubbed from the net. Wait...
Found one that is “close” to what I wanted...

Please note the thin yellow CO2 spike line on the extreme right side of the chart.
Current CO2 level is actually much higher - about 420 ppm.
The CO2 maximum for the previous eight inter-glacials topped out at 300 ppm, and was 275 ppm or lower in the other seven.
However, the current inter-glacial temperature anomaly is still below several previous inter-glacials, so, perhaps we are witnessing the "disconnect" of CO2 and higher temps?
