But by the same token, the current trend in warming or cooling is a geological instant, which will return to normal in an instant as well. In this case, an instant is like a few decades to a few centuries. The world was cooling for 3 decades from the 40s to the 70s. The it decided to return to normal for the next few decades. All in a blink of an eye.
