when do you think another ice age will come

RomMosher:

20-30 years from now

sxdsouls:

maybe tomorrow

563blackghost:

Honestly, I highly doubt another will come. Just too hot.

applesunited:

you never know

sxdsouls:

maybe tomorrow >:D

montes67:

Its too hot...global warming

QueenMidnight16:

i dont think it would be any time soon with our global warming issues

sxdsouls:

WAIT

sxdsouls:

I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABT THE MOVIE

axie:

Probably tomorrow

Sock:

2058

QueenbabyArielle:

i know it according to my calculations Researchers used data on Earth's orbit to find the historical warm interglacial period that looks most like the current one and from this have predicted that the next ice age would usually begin within 1,500 years.

QueenbabyArielle:

I KNOW IT

QueenbabyArielle:

QueenMidnight16:

unless the global warming stops it

QueenMidnight16:

#stopglobalwarming :)

QueenbabyArielle:

but it could start in 1,500 years

QueenbabyArielle:

it will start in 1,500 years

QueenbabyArielle:

And

QueenbabyArielle:

When plate-tectonic movement causes continents to be arranged such that warm water flow from the equator to the poles is blocked or reduced, ice sheets may arise and set another ice age in motion.

QueenbabyArielle:

And

QueenMidnight16:

true. very true

QueenbabyArielle:

Striking during the time period known as the Pleistocene Epoch, this ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and lasted until roughly 11,000 years ago. Like all the others, the most recent ice age brought a series of glacial advances and retreats. In fact, we are technically still in an ice age.

QueenbabyArielle:

And

QueenbabyArielle:

When less sunlight reaches the northern latitudes, temperatures drop and more water freezes into ice, starting an ice age. When more sunlight reaches the northern latitudes, temperatures rise, ice sheets melt, and the ice age ends.

QueenbabyArielle:

And it also

QueenbabyArielle:

If all the ice covering Antarctica , Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. ... Ice actually flows down valleys like rivers of water .

QueenbabyArielle:

And if

QueenMidnight16:

take that global warming! :P

QueenbabyArielle:

and the thing of What happened 12000 years ago 12,000 years ago: Volcanic eruptions in the Virunga Mountains blocked Lake Kivu outflow into Lake Edward and the Nile system, diverting the water to Lake Tanganyika. Nile's total length is shortened and Lake Tanganyika's surface is increased. 12,000 years ago: Earliest dates suggested for the domestication of the goat.

QueenbabyArielle:

so then

QueenMidnight16:

very true, but humans always find a way to disrupt nature DX

QueenMidnight16:

still we have no idea whatll happen in the future so anything is possible

QueenbabyArielle:

Fagan says there's strong evidence that ice age humans made extensive modifications to weatherproof their rock shelters. They draped large hides from the overhangs to protect themselves from piercing winds, and built internal tent-like structures made of wooden poles covered with sewn hides

QueenMidnight16:

the power of adaptation XD

mhchen:

1. internet troll hacks into joe biden's account (happened already lul) 2. uses that account to trash-talk Iran (or some nation with nuclear weapons) 3. Iran big mad, launches nuclear boom booms at us 4. Everyone else launches nuclear boom booms 5. Nuclear winter, sunlight gets blocked from reaching earth 6. Ice Age commences yaaay :D :D :D

lea0728:

yes

applesunited:

tysm

mathbuddy:

a ice age could happen again when the ice caps melt and the ocean will over flow making jurasic weather changes and also changing the envirments maybe causing tsunamis across the globe and more storms then causing the sun to be blocked and another ice age

mathbuddy:

there's a lot of ways for the world to end but there are super volcano's some long over due to erupt so that could be the reason why the world would end

mathbuddy:

so maybe like 40-50 years

mathbuddy:

if the ice age happens before the volcano's erupt the ice age probaly wouldn't be long cause of the volcanic heat and we probaly also wont last long cause if lava
