Nothing has changed and it is very normal. Our planet is not a stable state system. It gets hot, it gets cold and when it is hot life flourishes on earth. Pray for global warming. When the ice caps melt the oceans rise and humanity retreats from the sea over thousands of years just as we are today and due to warmth and increasing CO2 levels that have little to do with man, life flourishes. CO2 is plant food.
This is nothing new. It has happened many times in earths recent history. The normal state of Earth is Ice Age. What we now enjoy is geologically abnormal. Enjoy the warmth as it is short lived. The seas will probably continue to rise over the next few thousand years. London and New York will be gone. In 30 thousand years the will probably be under a mile of ice.
One must not listen to charlatans such as Al Gore. One must listen to proven history of the Ice Ages and they are very bad for life.
Pray for global warming, it is good for life. Ice Ages kill.
If the oceans cover London and New York it is of little importance. It is so slow that we will retreat from the sea and what we built on the lowlands will have already crumbled from age. This is nothing new. In the middle of the North Sea we find remains of villages under a couple of hundred feet of water. These villages were not drowned in a flood of rising seawater. They were drowned over many hundreds of years as the people slowly retreated from the edge of the rising sea. Today we call them the Brits, the Norwegians, the French etc.
If we are truly at the end of the ice age the polar caps will melt and those coastal cities will be gone. They will be gone in a few thousand years. It is of no importance.
Ice Ages are hell on terrestrial life. It is a time of great death. Pray for Global warming but the sun does not listen to prayers nor Al Gore.
Why did Al Gore buy a Mansion on the California Coast? Does he not know about rising sea levels?
As I tell a tree hugger friend (mostly to irritate him) we are but a pimple on the earths back side, waiting to be popped at a moments notice.
never fails :)
We are in the front portion of the Pliocene-Quarternary Ice Age. It started about 2.8 million years ago. We are simply in a non-glacial period but we will revert to a normal ice age in about 10,000 to 20,000 years and although the ice age will last from 30 million to 300 million years.

I rarely listen to politicians, if I can find speech as text I might read - but listen to- no. 0 was the worst- used a psychological trick that I cannot remember the name of, his speeches were awful, listening him was like nails on chalk board.
President Trump I will listen, first time in probably 20 yrs that I have listened to a politician, although hard to class PDJT as politician.
“Why did Al Gore buy a Mansion on the California Coast? Does he not know about rising sea levels?” insurance scam would be my guess
