The planet came out of the cold spell about 20,000 years ago.
That is when the glaciers disappeared, the Sahara swamp turned into a desert, etc.
We are supposed to be in the start of the cooling phase, according to the last 12 ice age and warming cycles recorded on Antarctic ice cores.
But instead of letting the planet cool back off naturally, we are artificially adding an additional warming, on top the already warmest part of the natural cycle.
That will result in a double warming, that has not happened in over 70 million years.
