They mean a glacial period, I guess... we are in an interglacial in an ice age

  Correct. This is all planned. Colossal Biosciences has already brought back the Dire Wolf and is working on the woolly mammoth. It is no coincidence that these are younger dryas animals, because they are expecting these animals to thrive in the near future glacial period. Don’t feel guilt tripped into causing this collapse, you have no control over it even though you can do some marginal things to reduce your individual footprint. Whatever needs to happen, will happen. AMOC collapse greens the desert. It also happens to be the region that dictates how affordable fossil fuels are and thus how much of the stuff is burned due to OPEC. If you are religiously inclined, that is meaningful.

    you should look more into the wolf thing. they didn’t do that.

Wrong, that's not how glacial periods are defined. This is definitely an interglacial period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interglacial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interglacial
