In fact, we're rapidly approaching a new ice age, and it's nothing to do with carbon emissions--nothing whatsoever.

We have an ice age about once every 100,000 years. Our last ice age was about 10,000 years ago. Sorry, duck, but we're not expecting another ice age for about another 90,000 years. |
No, ice ages last around 100,000 years. Interglacials last around 10,000. |
Technically, we are in an ice age. What people usually mean when they refer to an "ice age" is a glacial period. We are currently in an interglacial period of an ice age. The last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. Previous to that, glacials were occurring (or peaking) about every 100,000 years. |
So what are we supposed to be worried about again? |
