” About 15,000 years ago Greenland abruptly warmed by 16 degrees over a period of 50 years. Later studies identified at least 24 of these rapid shifts, now known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events between 100,000 and 11,500 years ago.”

Wow, how much CO2 did it take to warm Greenland 16 degrees in 50 years? Each whale, seal and polar bear must have owned 10 SUVs back then.
They had a trillion farting cows during that period in Greenland.
And Greenlandian? Co2 was way more progressive than in the rest of the world and it started to infect Co2 molecules globally in 1982 – on may 2nd,15.33 AM..
Be fair, you can’t blame them, EVs were 1000’s of years in the future, otherwise…..
Was this happening during the glaciation period?
Mostly – as the interglacial started 11700 years ago, while the last event happened 200 years later.
What if our current rise in temperature, if it exists, and I’m not sure I believe it does, were just a mild one of these and the major trend were a steep downward slope? If there were 16 degrees of rise over 50 years then one would think that there were also many 10,8,6, 4 etc. degree rises over 50 years as well. Maybe a lot of temperature changes are just statistical random walk?
I’m pretty sure that even during ice age with 2 mile high glaciers there were these climatic ups and downs(just within a way cooler temperature range),
On average, every fourth 863 year solar cycle is stronger, at 3453 years.
88500 years divided by 3453, is 25.63 events, close to the “at least 24”.
