Scientists say human greenhouse gas emissions have canceled the next ice age

5. If that's the case, and I doubt if there were enough humans on the planet to change climate then..

The Holocene began with rapid deglaciation and the retreat of the Neolithic ice sheets about 12,000 years ago. The number of people moving up and out of the ice age temperate zones was rather small, though they multiplied over the years This theory postulates another ice age around 6,000 years ago, which would make the Holocene just a minor interruption in a very long ice age. It also postulates that humans were sufficient in number by 6,000 years ago to affect the onrushing return of the ice sheets to pre-thaw levels. There simply weren't enough people on earth at that time to have affected the climate with the limited technology of the time.

This paper appears to be saying that we should all thank our lucky stars for human-caused global warming because it's saving us from another ice age.

I find it suspicious and would like to know who funded the research and how long it's been since the lead author started up his grandly named "institute."
But that's just me.
