Earth's last Glacial Maximum period began around 33,000 years ago,

Earth's LAST Glacial Maximum???

You mean there's been more than one? What happened in between?

But rapid regional warming saw the ice sheet collapse over a period of just 500 years,

Whoa. What caused that?

Go back to that glacier period around 13,000 years ago, over the entire NE of the US. That one-mile thick glacier melted in a matter of weeks, and raised sea levels by 200 to 300 ft (where they are today).

These cycles come and go. But the speed part is the unknown.

There was global warming 13,500-14,700 years ago? That is NOT Trump”s fault!

Neanderthals driving to their summer homes, probably. Because they were Neanderthals, they didn’t invent a carbon tax. So they lost their lovely continental glaciers and the good times hunting mammoths. If only they had listened to Al Cavegore.

Back then, Noah probably got blamed for global warming. Now, Trump is. Noah is probably glad to be off the hook. 😁🤪😆

40 miles inland and 600 feet above sea level. Not worried.

” What happened in between? “

We happened in between. All of civilization has happened in an odd portion of temperate weather. For the most part, Earth has been covered with ice. Wait until the current ice age, which we are still technically in, resumes. Then all of us will be required to burn a barrel of oil per day.
