Someday they will realize that we are still in an ice age.
- Windchaser 1y agoWe've been in an ice age for millions of years (standard definition of an ice age: there is persistent ice sheets at the poles; on Greenland and Antarctica). Within ice ages, there are glacials and interglacials. Glacial periods are what normal people think of when they say "ice age"; like when the ice sheets covered Canada and extended down to Chicago/NYC areas. Without manmade climate change, we'd be slowly sliding back to another glacial period. So in that sense, the warming is welcome, but we're overdoing it and shooting too hard in the opposite direction.
