Our last hope for warmth was the Atlantic belt. They don't even have a cute name for this.
The Pacific belt is now showing a uniform current along the length, but it sucking up the cold water from the Antarctic. The Atlantic belt is starting to do this, as well. This pattern will settle in for at least 20 years, and maybe more. It is a true 'ice cycle'. I have trouble with naming this, but I will leave 'age' our for now. I'll reserve 'ice age' for continental glaciation, which we can't have for another 10,000 years or so.
