1 a period of warmer climate between two glacial (= extremely cold) periods:
Warm interglacial periods comprised less than 10 per cent of the time and on average lasted only 10,000 years.
In these various ways the interglacial intervals left records of their former existence.
What caused the interglacial temperatures to crash during the Pleistocene?
Are we now coming out of an ice age, or merely within an interglacial ?
Normal for the last million plus years has been the ice age regime; interglacials such as the Holocene are the exception.
Concentrations of less than 220 ppmv would terminate the current interglacial.
