BTW, the talk in the mid-70's about a coming ice age was based on the fact
that most interglacial periods over the past 2 million years last about 10 -
15K years. We are about that far along now, and "should" be heading into
another ice age. Of course, the winters of 1976 and 1977 certainly made
that point sellable.

Glacier-no glacier-glacier-no glacier for the past 2 million years... Two questions need to be answered.

What causes ice ages?
What did the climate look like at the end of the interglacial period?

What happened 100 years ago or 1000 years ago (10k?) isn't going to tell us much about what is going on right now historically speaking. The climate changes 10k years into the last few interglacial periods would be really useful.
