And by the way, just in case anyone cares, the whole ice age cycle thing
began after India crashed into Asia 40-45 million years ago. The rising
Himalayans changed global climate. Ice ages occur in 10000, 19500,
24000 and 43000 year cycles. Mass extinctions occur on 26 to 30 million
year cycles, pointing to an astronomical cause. I believe we are almost
due for that, too. :)

quickly, even 2000 years is geologically a blink of the eye.
