Global warning? Yes, it's happening...like it has done before many, many, many times....even before home sapiens existed. Scientist drilled ice cores in Antarctica all the way to dirt. The area where they drilled was over 2 miles deep! 400,000 layers of ice-each layer made a year before. They looked at various things in those layers including amounts of oxygen, CO2, pollen, bacteria, seeds and thickness of ice, how much dust, etc. was in each layer, going back 400,000 years. What they discovered is that there have been numerous past ice ages-each one lasting about 100,000 years. Then a warning period in between ice ages, called interglacials, lasting about 10,000 years. The last ice age ended about 10,500 years

Excellent.
Also, starting 33,000,000 years ago, Antartica started getting colder.
While originally it was believed to be on account of chilled ocean currents circulating around it as it positioned into its present location, we now know it is on account of an unprecedented drop in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. There was a sudden uptick in CO2 25,000,000 years ago (not only did the world not die, but life boomed back then), but other than that, levels continue to decrease...

Ago, meaning...we're over due. And the sun is going into solar minimum. And massive amounts of ice melt water is freshening the oceans. The huge 2000 square mile ice berg set to break off Antarctica any day now could very well be the trigger. Fresh water has no salt and freezes at 32. Salty ocean water freezes at 28. Get it? Global warming causes ice age.; )
