“.... the 1970s they told us we would all be froze to death by now. I bought a warm coat and everything ...”
That was always closer to the truth then anything the Warmies have said simply because we are in the geologic age the Quaternary. (The Quaternary Period is defined by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets associated with Milankovitch cycles.) Unless there’s physical evidence to say we’ve left the Quaternary. Glaciation (Ice Age) is coming back, its just a matter of when!
I agree.
As well, just throwing it out there... Astronomical/energy entropy is ultimately in play.
And space is a vastly cold place...
