An honest question: how do we know we are not in the opposite of an ice age? So temperatures will get warmer and warmer till they reach a peak and then start dropping till we get to the next ice age?

How do we determine that peak and when was the last one?

Climatologists know about the ice age cycles. The talk is about deviations from the expected temperature changes.
It would be nice if more people acknowledged that we should be seriously addressing the problem of natural climate change as well as man made climate change.
