Remember all that Strum und Drang over the impending ice age back in the '70s?
No?
Well, it's back. Bigger and better than ever.
Now that the global warming thing isn't getting any traction (and with the blizzard that is going to hit the East coast this weekend, the GWH [Global Warming Hysterics] are even more frustrated). Thus, they have reverted to the Impending Ice Age ruse to cover their bets. Apparently, the Impending Ice Age has been held at bay by Man Caused Global Warming, which,to their way of thinking is a Very Bad Thing. We should have gone ahead and gotten started on the Impending Ice Age and gotten it over with. But NOOOOOOOO, bad human beings had to interfere and now look where we are.
At any rate, here is the article:

Global Warmists Angry Half The Earth Isn’t Covered In IceRead the whole schmeer here:
Written by James Taylor, Federalist on 21 January 2016.
ice age earthA newly published study indicates human-caused global warming starting shortly after the Industrial Revolution may have helped the Earth narrowly avert a catastrophic ice age, and global warming advocates and their mainstream media allies are very angry about it. Yes, really.
For the past 3 million years, the Earth has undergone a regular cycle of long ice age glaciations occasionally interrupted by short warm periods. The glaciations last approximately 100,000 years and the warm periods last an average of only 10,000 years. Our present warm period has been in existence for 10,000 years, leading many scientists to worry that a new ice age glaciation may be imminent.
A study in the science journal Nature examined the natural cycles that cause the cyclical glaciations and warm periods and concluded that by the 1800s—after 500 years of cooling temperatures during the Little Ice Age—the conditions were at hand for the Earth to end its 10,000-year warm period and plunge into another full-blown glaciation.
During glaciations, ice sheets more than a mile deep cover much of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Nature study concluded human-caused global warming may have been the deciding factor preventing the plunge into another ice age. The study also noted that ongoing human-caused global warming may be preventing such a plunge even today.
We Want an Ice Age Now
The Christian Science Monitor published an article Thursday by correspondent Husna Haq claiming it is horrible news that the Earth is not plunging into another ice age glaciation.
“While it may appear to be good news that humans have successfully delayed the next ice age, it’s actually not,” wrote Haq. “Ice ages play a significant role in shaping the landscape and leaving behind fertile soil for Earth’s civilizations. They carve channels in Earth, leaving behind rivers and lakes.”
Got that? It is a horrible thing that thousands of feet of glacial ice do not cover New York, Chicago, London, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Warsaw, and Berlin today because 100,000 years from now—when the glaciation would finally end—there would be pretty new lakes and rivers left behind, along with fertile soil for whatever species may or may not exist on Earth 100,000 years from now.
Population centers with tens of millions of people would be literally destroyed—including the eradication of the entire nations of Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, and all of the Baltic nations—and billions of people would die of starvation as a result of related crop failures and other climate disasters. This is what global warming advocates and the mainstream media want to happen because it is better for billions of people to die a painful natural death than to live in the temperate world of today as a result of human-caused global warming.
