Reply to comment by Embarrassed-Mouse-49 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

The real crazy numbers come from when the entire Earth froze over (Snowball Earth) and the average temp at the equator was -10°F and global mean temperature would be -50°F.
