Impending Ice Age

The Wall Street Journal reports that we are currently enjoying one of several relatively brief warm spells on an otherwise chilly planet. Furthermore, this warm spell is mostly over.

We can expect relatively abrupt cooling sometime in the next millennium. If human activity is having any climate effect, it may be helping to postpone the next ice age.

N.B. The earth cannot feed its current human population during an ice age.
