On the one hand we have you looking out your window. On the other we have people with thermometers writing data down over a period of decades:
"Since 1950, almost every part of the province has experienced significant increases in winter temperature (from +0.5 to +1oC per decade) and decreases in the frequency of cold days, heating degree-days, and the proportion of winter precipitation falling as snow. Over half of the province has also experienced significant increases in summer temperature (from +0.1 to +0.3oC per decade), and some parts have also seen significant increases in warm days over 25 and 30oC."

If it is increasing, then I am glad it is. Warmer civilisations are thriving civilisations.
What’s so bad about a warmer earth? Would be nice to have Canada 2c on average warmer.
Make sure your grandchildren know you feel this way.
They do. And with any luck with the Maunder Minimum coming we can dump enough Co2 into the atmosphere to head off another cold epoch and my grandkids won’t face mini ice ages like the founding fathers did around 1750.
Is a colder earth better for civilisations? Or a warmer earth? Or is the current average temp just right?
Should we have lower co2 than we do now? If so, how many ppm on average?
So you're one of the few who believe there's a causal relationship between the Little Ice Age and the Maunder Minimum despite the former starting before the latter. Time will tell, and within the next few decades, I guess.
