How cold was the ice age?

Recommended Posts

A University of Arizona-led team has nailed down the temperature of the last ice age—the Last Glacial Maximum of 20,000 years ago—to about 46 degrees Fahrenheit (7.8 C).

Their findings allow climate scientists to better understand the relationship between today's rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide—a major greenhouse gas—and average global temperature.

That IS an imaginary number.  The earth currently averages about 55 F - nine degrees warmer than ice age temps.
