We'll be wondering why there are so many starving refugees before we move a millimeter on the climate change issue. Of course, the longer we wait to act the more expensive and difficult it will be to overcome. But doing things the stupidest and laziest way possible is a bit of a pattern with us.

They're literally selling a 50c item for $150 - $230.
It's nonsense to call this is "a 50 cent item".

I remember, back in the day, buying (or being gifted) some iPod Socks. At $30 for a set of six, they seemed a bit overpriced... but they were occasionally handy to have.
I can't imagine why anyone would spend 6-8 times as much for a single sock - even one with a strap.

The same growing season extension has happened in Canada. I looked at it some years ago. It is the yearly frost free interval dates. Even a few days can make a difference.
Let's hope the current doesn't collapse. I always thought Iceland was a cool place. (no pun intended)
I forgot to add - I nuked my back, a muscle tweaking hard and am on some really powerful muscle relaxants. So my writing style is a bit different. Wife says I'm a lot nicer today, Maybe I need to work on that! 8^)

It's hard to overstate how bad it would be. Iceland doesn't just get glaciated in ice ages, it gets catastrophically glaciated. As in "mass kills almost all of our plant species". That's why there's currently no native conifers even though there used to be, for example - virtually the whole island ends up under an extremely thick sheet of ice.
Of course, a shorter localized ice age, in an otherwise warming world, isn't as bad as a Milankovitch Cycle ice age. But it'd be pretty awful for us. Right now, we're benefiting from a warming world (though losing our glaciers and regularly getting annoying new insect species which previously couldn't survive here

It would drastically affect most of Northern Europe, also the Eastern US. But Iceland would probably be the most seriously affected. Greenland might refreeze, I believe that the "little ice age" was responsible for the failure of the Norse Colony on the shores of Greenland.
It did make for the failure. The reconstructed stories paint a terrible picture. Families living in tight quarters with their animals, slowly heading toward the end of their existence as a colony
