temperature of Earth

Earth temperature {temperature, Earth} increased until 130,000,000 years ago, then decreased until Ice Ages, and has remained almost the same since then. The year -8000 was warmest in recent history, until 20th century. Climate has been slowly cooling since then. Sea can rise or fall by 400 feet between Ice Age and warm period. Increased-volcanic-eruption periods correlate with Ice Ages, because volcanic dust reflects more sunlight and makes Earth cooler.
