I doubt that the modern politicians will come up with any answers other than the ones that can be used to amp up their own chances of re-election.
I'm trying to find some copies of papers that were given to me 35 years or so ago by a science adviser to the then US Government. Unequivocal statements to the effect that at the current rate of global cooling half the US population would die of starvation by the year 2000 due to the loss of agricultural production. Fortunately I don't believe that any serious action was taken based on those papers.
