The earth was cooling at the beginning of the 19th century.
Perhaps, that was toward the end of the Little Ice Age.

It reversed itself by the end of the 19th century and the earth keeps getting warmer and warmer.
Good, we wouldn't have wanted the earth to keep cooling. Recovery from the Little Ice Age was and is a good thing. Would you have wanted the earth to be cooler in 1900 than it was in 1800?

BTW 1900 was before the big increase in fossil fuel use ... Coal was being used in trains and factories in 1900. Kerosene was being burned in lamps. Gasoline was hardly being used at all. Ditto for natural gas.

Now its not common/normal for global climatic changes to reverse themselves in less than 100 years.
It IS normal and common for climatic changes to reserve themselves within a century. The bottom and top of climate cycles have to happen sometime.

But even if it were normal and unavoidable, why are you adverse to cleaning up the air?
I'm not ... carbon dioxide isn't pollution. Isn't dirty. Real pollution - we have cleaned up most of it in the US. Now even that cleanup effort is getting to the point of diminishing returns. Remember the acid rain issue ... note that no one talks about it anymore. Our air and water are cleaner than in 1970. Except where the EPA has been working.
