I am afraid that we are entering new ICE AGE

I share that concern, primarily based upon the NASA prediction of a sunspot minimum more sedate than the current one in the next solar cycle that tends to historically jibe with cold climatic trends.

But the jury is still out and we need to assess data for both arguments.

In the mean time, energy policy should be focused upon energy independence, as well as enhancing biological processes for minimizing CO2 emissions (I have no idea what to do about Methane). Oceanic Fertilization research should continue since it has the huge side benefit of augmenting the marine food chain and replenishing our fisheries.
