If one looks at the long-term climate history with the previous ice ages, one can see that this inter-glacial warm period we have had for the last 12,000(?) years is longer than any of the previous ones.
While that may be God’s hand keeping it warm for us - I also wouldn’t be surprised if a real ice age happens. The kind with mile-high ice over Chicago.
I guess if something is going to spark an Armageddon, that would do it. Lots of people fighting over land that still might be warm enough to grow crops. Like the Middle East.
I knew an old-timer geologist that was predicting a mini-ice age 20 years ago. He also was quite the gardener, and did lots of research and splicing various types of grains to make them more adaptable to cold, dry weather. The seeds are now used in Scandavia, and also stored in some vault that contains seeds from around the world.
He was big into cycles, and had shown the price of gold to be related to the solar cycle. That might be a bit odd, but I suppose low solar cycles mean cold weather mean bad crops mean bad economy - means higher gold prices.
