Third sentence from the source you listed: Earth is currently in the ice age called Quaternary glaciation. It’s remarkable how reliably little there is to learn in climate threads here[2], so let me do my small part to present some basic scientific information that might be interesting to the curious. Ice ages occur when the various Milankovitch cycles[1] and the locations of the Earth’s various tectonic plates line up just so. There needs to be a large polar continent on which large ice sheets can form to create a positive feedback loop where the ice increases the Earth’s albedo resulting in further cooling, and even more ice, &c. There also need to be at least two oceans to slow heat transfer. So even with a polar supercontinent there’s no ice age. As you can see, currently all the conditions necessary for an ice age obtain, which is why geologists say we’re in one. Currently a glaciation is theoretically possible, but we don’t really know what gets that particular snowball rolling.

Followed by dismissing scientific knowledge about the Earth’s climate as “moot” no less!
