I don't see how civilization as we know it survives a glacial max. New York and London would be under the ice or at the boundary. Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis go under. Most of Europe is under or is a tundra. The great prairies of the U.S. and Canada out of production. It's a scary thought.
And to think there are idiots doing everything they can to trigger an ice age. Of course, I agree with you they can't do it.

Exactly. The majority of civilized and technologized societies reside in the northern part of the northern hemisphere. If they fell apart there would be major wars over resources in the tropical climes.
I've heard it said that the glacial maximum periods are characterized by wind. If that means that Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming etc. are basically calm places now I don't even want to think about it. lol
