The solar activity is key. The last sunspot peak was still well above "normal':

The current trend is not good and suggests some cooling is on the way.

there aren’t any ... solar minimum has begun ... duration unknown

We are about 1,00 years past the average warming period. The average ice age lasts about 5 - 9 times longer than the warming period. These cycles are caused by
1. Orbital Mechanics - earth orbit changing due to planet line ups etc. or a meter hitting like 65 million years ago
2. Heating cool cycles of the sun
3. Plate techtonics - you know the ring of fire.

the next ice age could be reduced by putting large vinyl reflectors around the earth - But will still wipe out half of the people, and most of the animal life.

I have spoken!
