That's an interesting new spin on it. Can you quantify it?

but people live through ice ages as they have in the past.


I think we're far better equipped to survive an ice age than ever before. We're no longer hunter-gatherers who'll die off as soon as the trees stop making fruit. We're even moving beyond traditional farming where we'd die off as soon as our crops stop growing. All we need is energy and building materials. Then we can provide ourselves with loads of food, warmth, etc. And because it'll happen gradually, we'll have time to adjust our industry for the new requirements.

What we can do about it:
i. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Less production and
consumption will reduce air pollution.
ii. Reduce or eliminate the use of products made with
or which contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's)
iii. Maintain and dispose of your air conditioners and
refrigerators properly
iv. Reduce your vehicle pollution
v. Use clean fuels such as CNG (compressed natural
gas), LPG (liquid propane gas), reformulated, or
"clean" gasoline, which is becoming more widely
available, if it is an option.
vi. Reduce consumption of electricity which is
produced in a non-environmentally safe manner.
vii. Consume less pesticide-dependant foods.
viii. Use propane or natural gas grills, if possible, as
they pollute less than charcoal with lighter fluid.
ix. Use low or no VOC (volatile organic compound)
products. instead use water based paints, glues
etc.
x. Landscape with native plants
xi. Compost your household, kitchen and yard wastes.

"It is not scientists being wrong that bothers me. It is when they suppress the truth"

This is what scientist are doing all the time to discover more to know the truth.
