We're not coming "out of an ice age," as you write. I know what you're saying; it's not GW, it's just "ice-age abatement," but technically we're in an Ice Age and coming out of a glaciation. Are you familiar with the normal cycle of Ice Ages; with lots of glaciations and interglacial periods? (see also: interstadial)
Yes, there's normal interglacial warming, but did you notice the
stats mentioned above at the
end of #196 (in red)?
Accelerated heating of Earth's crust in the past decades and century!
Yikes!!!
Please don't think I'm talking runaway GW. The geologic record show that another glaciation will come along; probably precipitated (pun intended) by excess water vapor in the warmed atmosphere (+ some trigger).
It is fun to speculate about the future, but I'd rather concentrate on maintaining stability in the present.
