I think the year of publication of this article — 2015 — should be in the title, no?

It is not a big difference in geological time.

>> It is not a big difference in geological time.

When it was published we were 29.6 percent past the 243 year average cycle time. Now we are more than 32 percent past. No, it's not a big difference but we are meaningfully further along than when it was written ;-)

By the standards, of course, although considering that the topic is about events on a geologic timescale, a half a decade plus or minus doesn't change the relevance much ;-)
