How can humans prevent another ice age?

You mean "how can humans prevent another glaciation". We entered an ice age about 2.6 million years ago and are living in a warm period called an "interglacial". There are conflicting theories on what instigates a glaciation so there is, at the moment, no way of preventing another.


Will we ever experience another Ice Age?

No one knows if earth will ever experience another ice age. It is possible though. With the pollution of the air and global warming taking slight effects, we may experience another ice age but there is highly unlikely that our generation will experience it. There is no evidence of an ice age in the future in the Bible. Although it is always possible.Using the normal definition of an ice age as an overall cold climatic time interspersed with glaciations and warmer interglacial periods, we are in a warmer period at the moment. The last ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and we are now in a warm interglacial period. Another glacial period is possible, though not a complete certainty in the far distant future.It depends, of course, if we are able to stop and reverse global warming.Yes of course, but unless humans do something extremely drastic, or something like a comet strikes, it won't be for tens of thousands of years.Yes, but also think about our green house gases the amounts are raising immensely in the atmosphere. It would cause a warming trend at first "global warming" and slowly fresh water ice in Iceland, Antarctica, and other places will start to melt and release into the ocean. When this happens it throws off the salinity content and the thermohaline conveyor belt which is the major currents of warm to cold water would be thrown off as well. When this happens winds and currents are confused and would end up causing another ice age, for instance 12,000 years ago this happened because of the conveyor belt.


Why do geologists and glaciologists study the Ice Age?

Geologists and glaciologists study the Ice Age to understand past climate patterns, changes in Earth's surface, and the effects of ice sheets on landscapes. This research helps scientists predict future climate changes and understand how glaciers and ice sheets impact global sea levels.


Scientists believe that the Earth is presently overdue for an Ice Age?

While it is impossible to predict when the next ice age will occur with certainty, some scientists suggest that we are about due for another one based on historical patterns. However, human-induced climate change may affect the timing and severity of the next ice age.


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.

How do scientistis think earths orbit relates to an ice age?

Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
