What would be the effects if we had another ice age?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

During an ice age, glaciers cover most of the land surface, which leaves very little left for human uses such as agriculture, which would be difficult even on land that was not covered by glaciers, because of the much colder temperatures everywhere in the world. However, we are not going to have another ice age in the foreseeable future. The world is getting warmer, not colder.

Answer 3

Another ice age would result in a drop in global temperatures, leading to widespread glaciation, with ice sheets covering much of the northern hemisphere. This would disrupt ecosystems, cause sea levels to decrease, and have significant impacts on agriculture and human populations in affected regions. It may also lead to changes in weather patterns and increase the likelihood of extreme weather events.
