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!!!!!!!!

The 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.

We 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.

Some 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.

The 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.
