And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I hate to tell you this CW, but it is not possible to begin a new ice age, when we are already in the middle of one. We have been in an ice age (the Pleistocene) FOR THE LAST 2.58 million years now. What you are really trying to tell others is that the planet is about to enter yet one more "glaciation", i.e. "stadial". We are currently at the tail end of this present "inter-glacial", i.e. "tje Holocene", and slowly dropping into the next one which will last for around another 100,000 years, followed by another "inter-glacial".
Some will say "What difference does it make? The ice sheets are going to be heading south." It makes a difference because it puts to rest the saying "At the end of the last ice age" manure. An ice age is the book, and glaciations are chapters in that book. Sorry for nit-picking but this "Global Warming" crap has to stop, or we will never be prepared for the next glaciation.

Thanks for the clarification! I welcome the glaciation.
