Warming may cause you to use less to keep warm but more to keep cool!!
The curious thing about ice ages is that the temperature of Earth's atmosphere doesn't stay cold the entire time. Instead, the climate flip-flops between what scientists call "glacial periods" and "interglacial periods."
Glacial periods last tens of thousands of years. Temperatures are much colder, and ice covers more of the planet.
On the other hand, interglacial periods last only a few thousand years and the climate conditions are similar to those on Earth today. We are in an interglacial period right now. It began at the end of the last glacial period, about 10,000 years ago.
