Yes it is true that scientists believe that the Earth is presently overdue for an Ice Age. The Ice Age happens in different cycles.
Variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun are called Milankovitch cycles. Scientist do not believe that Milankovitch cycles can start or end an ice age. Each cycle runs a different length and the variations in the cycles reinforce their effects or cancel them.
Technically, yes. Ice ages are not continuous periods of cold, but rather have cycles of colder glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods. We are currently in an interglacial period.
Glacier cycles.
They occur world-wide, and seem to be part of a pattern not yet fully understood. There is also debate as to whether sunspot cycles have anything to do with them. The last ice age ended between 20 and 25 thousand years ago.

Ice Cycles was created in 2000.
3, ice age 1 ice age 2 and ice age dawn of the dinos.
they didnt make a ice age 5
They already made it! In 2012 they are gonna make an Ice Age 4!
Many millions of people survived the Ice Age. The Ice Age only affected Europe and North America. Lands further south were essentially unaffected.

Hopefully.
The Ice Age Trail is in Wisconsin, where many signs of the terminal moraine of the last ice age are clearly visible in the landscape.
