Abstract
The past is the key to the future—recurring cyclic patterns of the magnitude and intensity of climate changes in the geologic past can be used to predict future climate changes. The magnitude and exceedingly abrupt rate of change of climate changes in the late Pleistocene (∼20°F/century) were vastly greater than any climate changes that have occurred in recent centuries. Ice-core oxygen isotope and paleo-temperature data clearly show remarkable swings in climate over the past 100,000years. In just the past 500years, Greenland warming/cooling temperatures fluctuated back and forth about 40 times, with changes every 25–30years (27years on average).
