The warm up era (when it was much warmer than it is now), helped lead to the Renaissance and the end of the Dark Ages as people were no longer starving and freezing to death.

Come on man, think about it for a second. Really think about it. I know you've made up your mind, but for God's sake....history is right at your fingertips to read about this stuff.
The little ice age was brought on by an external event out side of normal warming and cooling. Hence the reason it happened in a short time frame and not thousands of years like a natural cycle. ie like a large volcanic eruption as I mentioned.

Once again in the idea of man made global warming "we" are the external factor..
