Reply to comment by ElfMage83 in TIL researchers found that the global average temperature from 19,000 to 23,000 years ago was about 46 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s about 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) colder than the global average temperature of the 20th century, per a University of Michigan statement. by Embarrassed-Mouse-49

But that was my question, is the interesting part of this fact that its only 11 degrees?

Is this interesting as its only 11 degrees, as there was an ice age 20k years ago, most people would expect it to be a lot more than 11?
