Can we agree on this:  For the last 8,000 - 12,000 years we have been in the post-Wisconsonian glacial interlude, only the most recent of many. Others were Illinoisan, Kansan, and Nebraskan.  However this traditional division is now brought into question by indications that there may have been more glacial periods and thus interludes, like nine or so rather than the tidy traditional four.

At any rate, we can  also congratulate ourselves, because we have not responded to changes with the traditional variations of blame it on the Jews, burning witches, or sacrifice of virgins.  Virgin Jewish witches should thus feel reassured.
