Reply to comment by rdrckcrous 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

Global average was that much cooler. Not everywhere cools by the same amount. The further away from the equator, approximately, the more intense the cooling.

Same thing in reverse now. Global average up 1°C since 1880, but parts of the Arctic are over 4°C warmer.
