Why do people worry about the possibility of entering an ice age? That seems like the sort of thing humanity is much more prepared to survive.


We are more prepared to survive a 10 degrees drop than a degree and a half increase?


Not so much that a degree warmer is hard to survive, but the associated things that either come along with or are implied by global warming seem more damaging than colder weather and more ice, which we already know humans survived no problem ages ago when they migrated through Siberia and Alaska.
