Abrupt Temperature Changes in the Western Mediterranean over the Past 250,000 Years Martrat et al., 2004, Science Over the last 250.000 years abrupt climatic changes were more common at warmings than at coolings. Some of the most promiment changes occurred in the interglacial periods, after long periods of stability. After the last 250.000 years the climate was at relatively stable warm periods (interglacials or interstadials) while the duration of the glacial periods was shorter.

CO2 increase in the atmosphere is changing the climatic conditions of the planet Average atmospheric temperature is increasing Ice melting could lead to disturbance (interruption) of thermohaline circulation There are not examples in the recent past (last 2000000 years) of a climatic situation with the present atmospheric composition in our planet We live within a climatic experiment in which our planet (and ourselves) are the experimental objects CO2 keeps increasing 1.5 ppm per year at least
