also, fun fact: if you go by the earth's history, the global average temperature should be going down. slowly, very slowly, of course, over thousands of years, but it should be going down. instead it's fucking skyrocketing upwards

I notice that I'm confused: from my understanding we came out of an ice age ~15k years ago, with the Holocene glacial retreat.

But looking into this, there's also something called Dansgaard–Oeschger events, which look like they happen every ~4k years.

We also had the Little Ice Age 400-200 years ago, but that abruptly ended with the Industrial revolution, maybe you're claiming that it would've persisted if not for human intervention?
