Ice Ages start after Climate Optima at the Poles - The Holocene Climate Optimum was reached 10,500 years ago in Antarctica (EPICA Dome-C), 8,000 years ago in Greenland, and 2,100 years ago globally. Therefore, the Ice Age started 8,000 and 10,500 years ago in the north and south poles respectively, and 2,100 years ago globally. The interval between the Holocene Climate Optimum (Global & Dome-C) and its preceding climate optimum was the longest of all previous glacial cycles. How do you statistically justify delaying the ice age by 30,000 years?
