I would like to see Greenland capture as much of their glacial meltwater as possible and bottle it, because all of that fresh water encroaching on the NA current is going to do nobody any good and I can't think of a better way to make lemonade from those lemons.
An ice age is a period of expansion of glaciers and ice sheets, so winters could get worse without actually falling into an ice age.
Specifically, they're saying "this could cause an ice age, with winter temperatures plummeting to new extremes", which is a fair explanation of this potential future.

The winters will get worse but also it would cause a new ice age?
Something seems off about saying these two things as if they mean the same thing.
