I am waiting for the clever sophistry from the climate alarmists to explain why we are experiencing global cooling as the result of the sun entering a period of dormancy. I’m sure they are concocting some ridiculous rhetoric that the cooling we are seeing is part of the impending man caused global warming catastrophe.

The truth is we are still in the geologic age called the Quaternary. An age characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations. The last glaciation - Ice Age if you will ended (Whatever that means!) roughly 20,000 years ago. A lot of geologist will tell you we are still in an ice age since the Quaternary is an age of repeated glaciations. What we have experienced since roughly 22,000 years ago is likely a warming lull with some cold intervals (e.g., ., The Little Ice Age - 14th to the mid-19th centuries, although there is no generally agreed start or end date: some confine the period to 1550-1850.) Its possible the Quaternary has ended (Need physical proof not computer simulations!) and we are entering a whole new geo-climate ball game but I doubt it.

Note there have been many many Ice Ages! Again it depends on how you define ice age!
