It's just that we're living right now and not before the last ice age. Sucks for us.

Sucked more in 1816, which according to CNN was the coldest summer in two centuries.

"The global temperature dropped between one and three degrees Celsius. It was the coldest year in at least the last 250 years ... led to crop failure, the death of livestock and famine."

Uh………yeah that will happen when the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history happens and blasts 10 cubic miles of material into the atmosphere, which you conveniently forgot to mention. Your example has 0 relevance to climate change.

Cold causes crop failure, famine, and disease. Cold harms humanity.
