The next ice age will probably occur in 50 years if we don't protect the world from air pollution. But maybe we are wrong i don't think so though because people will see the consequences and will help but don't worry LONG LIVE EARTH!!!!!!!!

∙ 14y agoIt is possible that the Earth could experience another ice age in the future, but the timing is uncertain. Factors that could contribute to a new ice age include changes in Earth's orbit, volcanic activity, and variations in solar radiation. However, the current consensus is that human-induced climate change is more likely to impact global temperatures in the coming centuries.

∙ 9y agoThe next Ice age can happen anywhere from 100 000 to 500 years, depending on how we react to global warming. We may never have another ice age.
Technically we are in an Ice age because Antarctica and Greenland have a thick Ice sheet. However when they melt the Ice Age which we are currently in will be over.
The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and we are living in a warm period between glaciations.
If you mean "how long until the next glaciation"? That we don't know yet, if the ice nears the poles continues to melt it could be many thousands of years.
Since we can't make up our minds exactly what the various causes for periods of glaciation are, we don't know.

∙ 8y agoWe are currently in an ice age, but in an interglacial period of relative warmth. Recent interglacials have lasted from 12-50 thousand years.
Ice ages don't have a regular schedule for when they occur. The earth goes to various cycles of warming and cooling which happen at random. Estimates of when ice ages are said to occur are every 400,000 to every 1,000,000 years.

∙ 13y agoSome research suggests the next ice age was due a few thousand years ago, but greenhouse gasses from human agriculture postponed it. If so greenhouse gasses from human industry might prevent them altogether.

∙ 15y agoproblary not.. yes if the fossil fuels are kept on burining and the air is pushed back in by Carbon dioxide levels

∙ 14y agoThe facts state the same thing. Earth's climate will eventually go up 5 degrees, and there is no evidence saying that Earth cannot have another ice age.

Earth is currently in an interglacial period within an ice age cycle, which means that although global temperatures are warming, the planet as a whole is still experiencing the effects of the ongoing ice age. The term "ice age" refers to a period of time when large portions of the Earth's surface are covered in ice sheets, which is distinct from short-term fluctuations in temperature like global warming.
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that a comet hit Earth during the ice age. The ice age was primarily caused by variations in Earth's orbit, tilt, and wobble, as well as changes in solar radiation.
Yes, we are currently in an ice age known as the Quaternary Ice Age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. Within this ice age, we are in an interglacial period, which is a warmer phase between glaciations.
Shifts in Earth's orbit and tilt, as well as changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, contributed to the melting of ice sheets during the ice age. These changes affected the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, leading to warming temperatures that caused the ice to melt.
During an ice age, the Earth's surface is covered by a larger area of ice and snow. This increased ice and snow cover increases the Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, causing more solar energy to be reflected back into space rather than being absorbed by the surface. As a result, the absorption of solar energy by the Earth's surface decreases during an ice age.
we could have another ice age or meltdown
so the earth does not have another ice-age and kill all life on earth
Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
another word for ice age it Pleistocene

No. If there wasn't an Earth, there wouldn't be anywhere for there to be an ice age.

While it is impossible to predict when the next ice age will occur with certainty, some scientists suggest that we are about due for another one based on historical patterns. However, human-induced climate change may affect the timing and severity of the next ice age.
The Ice Age was an extremely cold period time on Earth.
no, man is actually encouraging an ice age by polluting the earth
No. The last ice age was triggered by fluctuations in Earth's orbit.
no
