History is the answer to the futureIt's high time that people realise the threat of Global Warming and the Next Ice Age that would be associated with it. How can we deal with the next Ice Age? That should certainly be the first question that should be echoing in our brains from now on, simply because it will be useful in the sustainance of human life; if not us, may be for the next generations to come.

Most of the foreseen problems are solved with a good study of facts related to similar issues in the past. Thus, the lessons we leant in the past about Charles Darwin's survival of the fittest, come back into picture. It certainly is true. How would man be able to survive unless he is fit to suffer extreme cold, extreme heat, malnutrition, and above all, a fastly reducing human race.

I would say people should start getting used to eating what they get, instead of choosing what they like. Only a physically and mentally fit individual could survive hardships that could arise, so start preparing for it. If how to prepare is the question, i would say start working out. Start eating all that you despised a few years back. Consider this: ur in the middle of a place like Greenland and all you have is mushroom. You don't even know if its poisonous. The only way you can deal with all this is by experience. Start going to the great outdoors. Listen to documentaries about how people survive in the jungles and forests. and most of all understand how people in the past lived. I mean what they ate, how they cooked food/made it fit for eating, how they made shelter, how they could understand where to move in order to escape temporary climatic problems etc. This is the time to revise those history lessons. This is the time to start preparing. History is the key to answer the question asked above. Look back and understand how to look forward to seeing your young ones alive.

How can earth be in the middle of an ice age when it is experiencing global warming?

Earth is currently in an interglacial period within an ice age cycle, which means that although global temperatures are warming, the planet as a whole is still experiencing the effects of the ongoing ice age. The term "ice age" refers to a period of time when large portions of the Earth's surface are covered in ice sheets, which is distinct from short-term fluctuations in temperature like global warming.


Which continents was not covered by ice during the pleistocene ice age?

Australia was one continent not covered by ice during the Pleistocene Ice Age. Africa is another continent not covered during this time.


What degrees celsius must the earth temperature drop to cause aanother ice age?

A drop of about 4-5 degrees Celsius in global average temperature is estimated to trigger an ice age. This would occur over thousands of years due to complex climatic and geological processes. However, the specific threshold for another ice age to occur is still debated among scientists.


Did ice age occur during the Mesozoic era?

No, the most well-known Ice Age was in the Cenozoic Era, during the Pleistocene epoch.


How could there be an ice age if the arctic ice caps melt?

The very fact that there are ice caps in and around the Arctic means we are in an ice age. It started 2.6 million years ago and we are now in a warm period we call an interglacial. If the ice caps melted very quickly it could allow a lot of fresh water into the northern oceans so altering the flow of warmer water from the south. This could mean that those countries in the north will not receive the warming waters we need to stave off another glaciation. If the ice caps melted slowly however, it could mean we would leave the ice age for a long time. The downside to that means that hot countries could become hotter and drier.

Will there be another Ice Age in the future?

It is possible that there will be another ice age in the future, but it is expected to occur in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years from now due to natural climate cycles. Human-induced global warming is currently offsetting the cooling effects that would typically initiate an ice age.

What is the opposite of an ice age?

The opposite of an ice age would be a period of warming or a period of global warming. This would involve an increase in temperatures and a reduction in ice cover compared to what is typically found during an ice age.
