text: Weren't we supposed to be into another ice age now?
  According to ice cores from Antarctica, the past 400,000 years have been dominated by glacials, also known as ice ages, that last about 100,000y. These glacials have been punctuated by interglacials, short warm periods which typically last 11,500 years. Because our current interglacial (the Holocene) has already lasted approximately 12,000 years, we are overdue...maybe we in Canada should focus on increasing CO2...just sayin'...
