Back when the dinosaurs were running around, even the poles were sub-tropical. So compared to Earth's whole known and guestimated history, we need to warm up to get back to "normal".

Fifteen thousand years ago, the world was a lot colder than it is today. Average world temperature, since the ice ages started their cycles 40 million years ago, is lower than it is today. Yet 10,000 years ago, right after the ice ages thawed out, it was warmer than today. If we warm up, it will be our pre-civilization "normal". If we cool off, it will be our pre-human "normal". We may have some influence on climate, but one solar flare or asteroid strike and we're back to hard-scrabble survival. Climate is cyclic.

I'd say the global cooling ticket was a fun angle; but put this on for size (and this is what I thought you were doing): In Soviet Russia, after WWI and the Bolshevik revolution, you couldn't find animals anywhere. In the northern Siberian tundra or along the southern borders. The reason was that a socialized economy couldn't deal with agriculture, and the country's food supply dried up. Plus, they were forcing dozens of people to live in places meant for couples--just like your families. Most eco-nuts are of the socialist variety; so imagine this: Global Cooling AND an economy without the means to feed its population. Gives me shivers, no pun intended. Very interesting scenario.
