- "The
medium term climate changes includes the semi-regular
advances and retreats of the glaciers during an individual
Ice Age. The last 2.8 Ma have been marked by large global
climate oscillations that have been recurring at approximately
a 100,000 yr. periodicity at least for the past 800,000
years. The warm periods, called interglacial periods,
appear to last approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before
regressing back to a cold ice age climate."
