God gave us coal, oil, and natural gas for a purpose.
It is the stupid scientists that keep wanting to mess into His creations.
How's come the scientists never, ever, talk about the mini-ice age.
en.wikipedia.org
For the most recent period that was much colder than present with significant glaciation, see
Last Glacial Period.
Global average temperatures show that the Little Ice Age was not a distinct planet-wide period but a regional phenomenon occurring near the end of a long temperature decline that preceded recent
global warming.
[1]
The
Little Ice Age (
LIA) was a period of regional cooling, particularly pronounced in the North Atlantic region.
[2] It was not a true
ice age of global extent.
[3] The term was introduced into scientific literature by
François E. Matthes in 1939.
[4] The period has been conventionally defined as extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries,
[5][6][7] but some experts prefer an alternative timespan from about 1300
[8] to about 1850.
[9][10][11]
The
NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals. One began about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, all of which were separated by intervals of slight warming.
[7] The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Third Assessment Report considered that the timing and the areas affected by the LIA suggested largely independent regional climate changes, rather than a globally synchronous increased glaciation. At most, there was modest cooling of the
Northern Hemisphere during the period.
[3]
Several causes have been proposed:
cyclical lows in solar radiation, heightened
volcanic activity, changes in the
ocean circulation, variations in
Earth's orbit and
axial tilt (
orbital forcing), inherent variability in global climate, and decreases in the human population (such as from the massacres by
Genghis Khan,
Black Death and the
epidemics emerging in the Americas upon European contact[12][13]).
Now... every article you can read on this mentions a contributing factor to the cooling
has been volcanic activity....
Then there is this
When you see headlines about record-breaking temperatures, you're looking at a climate model still in progress

Why do all our climate data start in 1880?
Here’s what’s going on: Scientists mark the start of modern global record-keeping at roughly 137 years ago, in 1880. That’s because earlier available climate data doesn’t cover enough of the planet to get an accurate reading, according to NASA. So 2016 wasn’t just the hottest year in 137 years—it’s truly the hottest year on record.
(But they fail to relate it to the rewarming from the little ice age..... due to lack of records)
