From http://www.climate4you.com/GlobalTemperatures.htm http://www.climate4you.com/GlobalTemperatures.htm All four previous interglacials are seen to be warmer (1-3oC) than the present. The typical length of a glacial period is about 100,000 years, while an interglacial period typical lasts for about 10-15,000 years. The present interglacial period has now lasted about 11,600 years. I found it fun that the xkcd comic on Earth Temperature [0] is roughly the red box in Figure 2 of that page. Really puts things into perspective. [0] https://xkcd.com/1732/ https://xkcd.com/1732/
