In 1991 there was a science fiction novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, along with a guy named Michael Flynn (probably a different one) called "Fallen Angels." IIRC, it centered on the rescue of Moon colonists who crash landed on Earth while raiding the atmosphere to steal oxygen. The backdrop was a re-glaciated Earth, ice caps as far as the middle USA. The cause of this glaciation was draconian and highly successful environmental laws to stop global warming. The story was before its time. But the moral is that maybe we just need to keep burning coal, oil and gasoline to save ourselves.
