Well, 1/2 correct

The current ice age began about 4 million years ago, the dinosaurs disappeared about 60-65 million years ago, so no, the current ice age did not kill off the dinos. Whether it was nuclear winter after an asteroid collision or just the 10-degree cooling of the planet after the rise of the Rocky Mountains and Himalayan Plateau is debatable.

The "current global warming" began approximately 20,000 years ago after the peak of the last period of glaciation, and therefore IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HUMAN ACTIVITY. I'm still at a loss to understand why some people have difficulty with that concept. It's simple---20,000 years of global warming with only about 130 years of internal combustion engines---DOH! Yep, let's all go out and buy an EV. And yet those true believers call those of us who understand astrophysics and paleoclimatology "deniers". Actually, it's just about the highest compliment that we can be paid. To them all I can say is that I am also a "Santa Claus denier", an "Easter Bunny denier" and a "Tooth Fairy denier", but I am happy for those that wrap themselves in the belief of those fantasies as well.
