Global average temperature is lower during glacial periods for two primary reasons: 1) there was only about 190 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere, and other major greenhouse gases (CH4 and N2O) were also lower 2) the earth
surface was more reflective, due to the presence of lots of ice and snow on
land, and lots more sea ice than today (that is, the albedo was higher).

The fact this is seemingly not fully recognized — or here integrated — by Curry goes to the same reason Curry does not recognize why the so called «pause» is a fiction, why the «slowing» of the «rate» of increase in
average ambient
global land and ocean
surface air
temperatures over a shorter term period from the larger spike beyond the longer term mean of the 90s is also meaningless in terms of the basic issue, and why the
average ambient increase in
global air
temperatures over such a short term is by far the least important empirical indicia of the issue.
