Professor Ivar Giaever, the 1973 Nobel Prizewinner for Physics trashes the global warming/climate change/extreme weather pseudoscientific clap-trap and tells Obama he is "Dead Wrong".
In the near term the man made global warming is political; it is not science; not even little. However, in the long term, perhaps a billion years and long after humans and all other mammals and birds have evolved into no telling what, global warming is a certainly. That is because as our sun ages, it gets hotter. However, the sun gets hotter only by an insignificant amount over a short period of time such as 10 million years.
Whatever temperature, rain, earthquakes, weather changes that happen for the few years or in our lifetime, are minor compared to when earth returns to the Ice Age. That will occur when the current inter-glacial warm period ends and it might end in the near future or it might not end for another four or five thousand years. Apparently no one knows when it will end. However, when it ends it will be another 90,000 years more or less before the next inter-glacial warm period.

It all depends on sunspot frequency. Right now we are in a Grand Solar Minimum.
Apparently that is a bit higher in frequency than the Maunder Minimum. During that time the Earth lost 25% of its population. The Thames River in England froze over and there was ice on the Venice Canals. ;)

The Maunder Minimum roughly coincided with the middle part of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced colder than average temperatures. Whether there is a causal relationship, however, is still controversial.
Regardless, the Maunder Minimum is minor compared to an Ice Age. And, although lack of sun spots may be a factor, that doesn't explain a millions of years long Ice Age.
I know some things about ice ages. Growing up in Chicago I always wondered about how the Great Lakes were formed and other things about the Chicago area including the glacial moraines in the area.
Those features are why we have the Lake Border Moraines when the lake levels were much higher than they are today. As those glaciers receded they left behind huge quantities of gravel which are still dug out today in the many gravel pits in the area.
As far as the wide range of temperatures and large snow falls needed for these glaciers to exist, none of us were around then millions of years ago when wooly Mammoths roamed the area. The remains of Mammoths have even been found in Siberia.
In California at Yosemite there is Half Dome which shows how glaciers cut thru the valley millions of years ago and cut the mountain to what we see today. ;)
