But back to the pending "ice age" we faced decades ago. How did we fix that? What was the solution? How much did it cost?

Decades ago? What are you talking about?
There is some thought that as the ice in the Arctic melts it will cause a mini ice age in Europe. This is due to the fact that fresh water is less dense than salt water and therefore will not sink and that in turn will cause the ocean currents to be short circuited.
I don't know if "ice age" or "mini ice age" is the best term as no one that I am familiar with is suggesting glaciers a km thick, but massive snowfall is not at all unlikely. But while this is happening in Europe you can also expect the equatorial regions to get much hotter and probably see a massive die off in the ocean.
