I hadn’t thought that any of this is new. In the middle of the last
century, the received wisdom was planet Earth is probably heading for
an Ice Age. Subsequently, the significance of increasing CO2 being
better understood – well it was thought to be better understood.

However, while increased CO2 is a measured fact (whether man-induced
or part of a natural cycle) the jury is seemingly still out as to what
that will mean. The consensus is that warming will be the result but
that is by no means proven. If that is that is indeed the case, in
the short term, warming could well be occur before CO2 levels drop
later and an Ice Age has a chance to kick in.
