In other words, for the temperature of the globe as a whole, between now and the last glacial maximum, the difference was five degrees, but that was because most of the Earth was not affected.

Much of the earth anyway, very much.

But, you know, somebody says one degree, a half degree.

What's his name?

Gutierrez at the UN says the next half degree and we're done for.

I mean, doesn't anyone ask a half degree?

I mean, I deal with that between, you know, 9 a.m.

and 10 a.m.

They call it the inflation reduction algorithm.

The interesting thing is during the ice ages-

We almost get wiped out.

Got really close, right?

And what's interesting about that is as far as temperature goes, okay, yeah, the poles have gotten much colder.

You have ice covering Illinois, two kilometers of ice.

That's uninhabitable.

But you get south of 30 degrees latitude, not very different from today in terms of temperature.

And so you would think you had 100,000 years, people would sort of,

migrate to an area where it was now pleasant.

Trouble was, without CO2, which went down to about 180, there wasn't enough food for the people.

Oh, so there wasn't enough plant life.
