When is the next ice age due?
First off, the arrival of an ice age doesn’t happen on schedule–it’s like the first snow, it varies. I would say probably sooner than later. People studying the antarctic ice have noticed that an ice age occurs almost immediately after a period of global warming. The higher the amounts of carbon dioxide in the air, the faster the warming, the colder and longer the ice age tends to be. Yes, 13,000 years ago (and another 100,000+ years before that) we were cave people, hunting mammoths and whatever else. So ice ages are nothing new to our species, we are very smart that is how we have been able to make it this far. Agriculture is only about 10,000 years old, we have been able to grow crops only during this warm period. Without the crops, we will have a hard time feeding the amount of people we have currently on this planet. We may have to be cave people again. The good news is with our technology we will see this coming and if we are wise, we will be able to prepare for this. If the ice
