"There was once a sci fi novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle that was based on the premise that the greenhouse effect was largely local, and that it was holding off another ice age."
If memory serves the book is called "Fallen Angels" and there is a third author who contributed also. (First name is Michael, forgot the last one)
