Big surprise:
Nope, The coming "ice age" is due to global warming, don't you remember?

"It hasn't been this warm in 150 years!" Is the cry. Well guess what that means? 150 years ago it WAS this warm.
Never to be confused by the facts, both global warming AND global cooling are due to global warming!

(/Hopefully obvious sarcasm from time to time)

Cordially,

The temperature goes up and the temperature goes down. That's the way it is on the Planet Earth.

If there is a permanent "Global Warming" due to greenhouse gasses, just think of it as "Glaciation Insurance".

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling lasting approximately from the 14th to the mid-19th centuries, although there is no generally agreed start or end date: some confine the period to 1550-1850. This cooler period occurs after a warmer era known as the Medieval climate optimum................One of the difficulties in identifying the causes of the Little Ice Age is the lack of consensus on what constitutes "normal" climate. While some scholars regard the LIA as an unusual period caused by a combination of global and regional changes, other scientists see glaciation as the norm for the Earth and the Medieval Warm Period (as well as the Holocene interglacial period) as the anomalies requiring explanation (Fagan).

Thanks for posting this.

This great reply will be stored in my old remaining gray cells to shoot down the global warming whiners when they make this stupid statement. Often, the time span is even less like 30 to 50 years.

Indeed. And what caused it to be this warm 150 years ago? Wagons with too many horses?
