Man caused? Doubtful.
We had a mini ice age 500 years. At one time, not long ago, Iceland was completely under glacial ice. That ice has been receding long before man stepped foot in Iceland and even Europe. Fossil remains also show teaches of warm weather plants and animals from thousands and millions of years ago.
Sometimes climate change is influenced by plate tectonics. Other times by astronomical events. Sometimes by volcanic action. None of those can be stopped by human activity.
Best we can do is adapt. Darwin told us that it's survival of the fittest!

Ditto -- and the snow skiers are happily adapting this year ...
