Mankind is now much better equipped than the ancients to cope with this kind of extended cooling. If utterly necessary, thorium-fueled nuclear reactors can be built by the thousands in a crash program to provide the necessary energy for heating and powering gigantic vertical farms as well as homes and businesses. Industrialized countries will do what they must to survive. This planetwide effort will be expensive but not nearly as expensive as freezing in the dark. I’m not that worried about another Little Ice Age.
Admittedly, the poor in emerging economies will suffer, but then, they always suffer. -_-
