I think that if we tried to prevent global cooling, we would’ve set the world up for an even worse problem of global warming. Melting the ice caps? That is exactly what we don’t want right now. I believe that our scientific research is much more accurate than the research done when this article was published. I don’t believe that humans should alter natural cycles in order to increase comfort. However, the level of global warming that is occurring is not a natural cycle, and we should do something to stop it.
