The researchers found that the current interglacial has indeed lasted some 2.0?.5 millennia longer than predicted by the currently dominant theory for the way in which orbital changes control the ice-age cycles. This theory is based on the intensity of solar radiation reaching the Earth at latitude 65 degrees North on 21 June, the northern hemisphere Summer solstice. But the anomaly vanished when the researchers considered a rival theory, which looks at the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth the same latitude during the summer months. Under this theory, sea levels could remain high for another two thousand years or so, even without greenhouse warming.

Thanks decimon. The foolishness begins with relying on uniformitarian gradualism to "explain" catastrophe.

If it deals with climate change, it's not chat, IMHO, not when they claim we're 2000 - 2500 years overdue for an ice age.
