Warmists might wish to reflect on the Roman wine harvests in Britain - and the Little Ice Age of the middle ages.
What happened to the new ice age we were told was imminent back in the '70s?
So for the hard of thinking: The "Warmists" have reflected on this things - quite thoroughly!
The medieval ice age was just a northern hemisphere event - it does not appear in the overall averaged world dataset.
The new ice age was overdue - in fact the Holocene (stable climate over the last 12,000 years since we came out of last ice age) had been going longer than any other interglacial.
The Milankovitch cycle (wobble in the earths tilt, axis and orbit) was due to take us slowly back to an ice age - but looking at LJ's chart you can see there is a certain amount of variation within this so we were on borrowed time.
Now here is the thing - rather than going back into an ice age as per the natural cycle - we have put lots of C02 into the atmosphere - and looking at LJ's chart you can see C02 causes the temperature to follow - we have artificially averted the next ice age - at least for a while!
As this is probably the most pressing issue facing mankind can I suggest you stop being a numptie - treat it with some respect - and perhaps read up on the science of what is really happening - not some Ted Cruz/ oil company sponsored denialist propaganda.
Actually you might find the real science is fascinating .
Also you might find that US and UK military(amongst others) fully understand that climate change is real and will be the primary driver of conflict as we head deeper into the century
