@skodadog1 If it is natural, and it follows the trend of other natural cycles like the Little Ice Age or the Medieval Warm Period and lasts hundreds of years, it will still require adaptation and major changes in our lifestyle, so no 'business as usual' under any scenario.

Solar cycle, interstellar particles. Try researching those. Oh, and 'consensus', and Climategate, and CO2 FOLLOWING increase in temperature. wattsupwiththat
