You know, you gotta love those Neanderthals!

Here's an interesting note:

Europe is warming up more quickly than the rest of the world and cold
winters could disappear almost entirely by 2080 as a result of global
warming, researchers predicted August 18, 2004. Heat waves and floods are
likely to become more frequent, threatening the elderly and infirm, and
three quarters of the Swiss Alps' glaciers might melt down by 2050, the
study prepared by the European Environment Agency (EEA) said. German
holiday makers in this Feb. 8, 1999 file photo try to make their car snow
safe after more then 1.70 meters of snow fell in parts of Austria's western
province of Tyrol. (Miro Kuzmanovic/Reuters)

I suppose in paleo terms 2004-2050 or 2080 is less than a blink of the eye
but I hadn't thought too much about the heating and cooling being uneven -
that changes would occur in one place more rapidly than another?
