They used to say that the ice age hasn’t ended, we’re just in a temporary lull. The gulf stream is taking warm water from the equator and moving it north. When that stalls, Europe and North America will freeze again. But now we must worry about man-made global warming because the politicians needs a scare tactic to help win votes.
It’s still said by people ho know something about earth science. We are currently in a warming lull of the he Quaternary period (2.58 million years ago to the present). A period characterized by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets.
