Default Risk of Ice Age from Global Warming Confirmed

Having lived through unprecedented months of snow and ice for the last
two years I want a refund on my promised warming. I believe even a
mini ice age would be much harder for most of mankind to survive
compared with global warming. It would deny the world most of its
cereal crops and make the developed Northern hemisphere a much more
difficult place to live, work and travel. Losses to hypothermia
amongst the poor and the elderly could be catastrophic given the total
inadequacy of most home insulation and rising energy costs. In a worst
case scenario a major migration of the human race towards the equator
seems completely unworkable without a truly colossal reduction in our
numbers. We can but hope it is a complete flop rather than a real
flip. (if it ever occurs)
