Did the Industrial Revolution pull us out of the "mini ice age"?

Question

If you believe so then doesn't it make it interesting that people want to complain about global warming?

Answer 1

There has been a big debate for years that the earth should be much colder than it is.

Answer 2

I guess

Answer 3

The amount of fossil-fuel burning prior to 1940 was negligable compared to the amount of fossil-fuel burning since 1940.  So the answer to your question is: "no".

Answer 4

No, but I will say that Al Gores Correlation = Causation version of politics and science is taking science back to the dark ages.

Answer 5

Very nice....we are still living in a "mini ice age" but I guess money could be made out of global warming, so we have to go by that now...?

Answer 6

no. the sun becoming more active again did.

it has been argued that the mini ice age around the time of the maunder minimum *caused* the industrial revolution. bcuz of the cold climate, ppl took a far greater interest in generating heat and thinking up new things to do with it.
