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.

What do scientists think will cause the next ice age?

Scientists believe that changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles, could potentially trigger the next ice age. However, human-induced global warming is currently offsetting these natural cycles, making it unlikely for an ice age to occur in the near future.
