Good news.
Anthropogenic warming prevented the next glacial cycle that had already begun. A new study in the journal Science claims that the next great glaciation began about 2,000 years ago, before modern warming reversed the trend. The evidence comes from the Barnes Ice Dome on Baffin Island, the last remaining remnant of the vast Laurentide ice sheet that once covered much of Canada and reached as far south as the US state of Illinois. But around 1960 the trend changed. The summer became so hot that Barnes began to lose more ice than it gained, even as the Northern Hemisphere's summer sunlight continued to slowly decline, which should have encouraged renewed glaciation.
