Numerical modeling studies show that similar changes can be triggered by warming associated with human emissions as well.

The records reveal a large, two to five degrees Celsius temperature change in the subtropical Atlantic Ocean. That's comparable to the total change between the ice age and the present day at the same location.

What is new here is clear evidence that the warm Atlantic, like the polar Atlantic, was undergoing very large and very rapid temperature changes during the last glacial period.

The warming at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, was supported by the disappearance of enormous ice sheets, a one-third increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and changes in the seasonal distribution of the sun's energy. But the abrupt changes we documented during the last ice age seem to be almost entirely ocean driven.

So everything is going to look the same to the students. The only thing that is going to change is that excess money that we have been able to collect in the past, we will no longer collect.
