It's clear that the "Little Ice Age" was no fun to live through. But you

seem to be tilting at straw men, as I've never seen anyone suggest that

the climate at that time was wonderful.


Oh John oh John. So what climate should we be striving for?


What we have now or marginally cooler, with the emphasis on the
"marginally". But that's not likely to happen. If change is slow enough,
then there's time to adjust to it, and we can probably cope. The worry
is that over the coming decades warming may be too fast for that.
