Just fuck off at this point really, you know? I have no idea what glitched to send the prediction machine from overheating to overfreezing but nobody cares any more. Let’s move on.

This is not a particularly new finding and there’s also no contradiction with global warming. “Milankovitch cycles” explain the cycle of ice ages as due to cyclical shifts in the Earth’s orbit that alter how much solar warming the Earth receives – that’s been known for many decades. The exact time of onset is affected by factors like land cover in high latitudes, and this “10,000 years to the next ice age” is hype about a statistical analysis that claims to pinpoint the time of onset more accurately.
But the whole process is being derailed by humanity burning half a trillion tons of coal since the industrial revolution, or however much it’s been. The carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is what keeps Earth’s surface above freezing point, and despite diminishing returns to the effect, increasing the amount of CO2 by a third is enough to shift the long-term equilibrium temperature up by a few degrees.
