This article is unreliable.

“...to avoid future ice ages that could have started 50,000 or 90,000 years from now.”

Interglacial periods are relatively short, lasting 20-40,000 years. We are very likely already on the downslope of this one, having already had the warmest period during the Holocene, with a new ice age coming in 10-25,000 years.

Anyone who believes covering a third to a half of the Northern Hemisphere with a mile of ice is better than even the greatest predicted rise of the seas over the coasts is an idiot.

Fortunately, it’ll be a balmy 80 degrees year round just in front of the advancing ice sheet. So what if the ice pushes its way down to Chicago and New York? Well just cram a few more people into the remaining tropical paradise that isn’t covered in ice. The temperature wouldn’t drop in the uncovered land mass, would it? Nah.
