Why should we expect the climate will be the same in 100 years as it is today? The climate has always been changing. Europe was in an ice age from 1300 to 1850. Do you think we could've done anything to stop that? Or should have?

The periods you mention are associated with crop failure and widespread famine. There were a lot less people back then.
