Just a thought #2: The Next Ice Age

Will we, or our children, see the next ice age in our/their lifetime? Is this a false prediction or the biggest threat to our generation?

Considering only small changes in climate can cause, and for that matter have caused, ice ages, then climate forecasts for this century lead us to believe that on our current path, global warming will in fact cause the next ice age. So will this happen or will something human or natural intervene?

Should we have our next ice age as soon as predicted then this will be the shortest space between ice ages in history. This means that the earth’s climate changes in periods and this is signaled by an ice age which wipes out most mammals. The last ice age was only 1.8 Million years ago, meaning that should the world turn white within the next century or two then it will be premature and seen as forced by human modernization.
