Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods‚ called interglacial periods‚ appear to last approximately 15‚000 to 20‚000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate.

This leads to the growing debate of today‚ is global warming man-made? Or is it just a cycle that the Earth goes through? This is a controversial
