The climate of the past did indeed change, that isn't relevant when we have evidence showing our effects on the climate since industrialization took place.
Is your evidence higher temperatures since the Little Ice Age ended?
Scientists are pretty clear about what caused the LIA and when it began and ended.
The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling that occurred after the
Medieval Warm Period.
[1] While
it was not a true ice age, the term was introduced into the scientific literature by
François E. Matthes in 1939.
[2] It has been conventionally defined as a period extending from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries,[3][4][5] or alternatively, from about 1300[6] to about 1850,[7][8][9] although climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions.
The NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, each separated by intervals of slight warming.[5] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Third Assessment Report considered the timing and areas affected by the LIA suggested largely independent regional climate changes, rather than a globally synchronous increased glaciation. At most there was modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during the period.[10]
Scientists have tentatively identified these possible causes of the Little Ice Age: orbital cycles; decreased solar activity; increased volcanic activity; altered ocean current flows;[67] the inherent variability of global climate; and reforestation following decreases in the human population.
The natural factors that caused the LIA ran their course and that period ended.
The abrupt, rapid, un-natural and accelerating global warming over the last century or so has nothing to do with the LIA or its ending. It is being driven by the 43% increase in a powerful greenhouse gas that mankind's activities have caused, as the world scientific community strongly affirms.

I noticed that your article didn't mention the coming Ice Age in the 1970's.

Sorry, a TIME Magazine Cover Did Not Predict a Coming Ice Age
A doctored TIME magazine cover warns of a coming ice age. But the reality remains that the world is warming, thanks chiefly to human action
After 3 years of extreme cold and snow, the liberals had to walk back this prediction because there was solar activity that started warming the Earth. By 2000 Al Gore was harping on the exact same things happening, but called it Global Warming, and after the Carbon Credit Exchange was created, the rest of the libs saw an opportunity to make obscene profits by robbing the tax payer by causing energy prices to necessarily skyrocket through carbon taxes. But how can an increase of CO2 from .03%(three hundredths of one percent) to .04%(four hundredths of one percent) be so deadly? It isn't, because CO2 isn't a green house gas but water vapor is. Since liberals haven't figured out how to tax water vapor yet(evaporation from the oceans) they continue to bash CO2(life giving gas for green plants, do liberals hate green plants?) because it can be taxed as it is brought out of the ground, taxed when it is used, and the Rich are getting Richer, and the most in poverty ever with the first 1/2 president in office, for 7 years now. Liberals are the dumbest people on the planet and have no clue who the REAL enemies of US are.
How did Al Gore make 1/2 billion dollars after exiting office of the V.P. He and others stole money from US to make themselves 1%ers.
