Sure but that is semantics. While not the technical definition of an ice age, glacial periods are often colloquially called ice ages.

I am entirely fine with cutting emissions, which is what a "diet" would be in your analogous scenario. Actively trying to make our planet cooler after we just got out a glacial period is a bad idea though. The planet was dryer, colder, and generally less hospitable. Deserts were larger, the Amazon rainforest was two distinct rainforests seperates by Savannah etc. The warmer the planet gets the better of a place it is to live.
