But for centuries, scientists have struggled to pinpoint exactly why these shifts occur and when the next ice age might begin. Now, a new study published in Science has unraveled the mystery ...

“When we look at Ice Age 10, we can very clearly predict when Ice Age 9, 8, 7 and 6, and so on, all happened,” Nuber said. Researchers came up with this method by looking at “astronomical ...

However, don't rush for your woolly hat and scarf just yet, because the long-term effects of human-made climate change could prevent the next ice age from ever happening. Our planet has always ...

Kerem Yucel/AFP/Getty Images Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil ...

A new study suggests that Earth’s next ice age should begin within the next 11,000 years - except our impact on the planet may delay it, potentially by thousands of years. Scientists have long ...

Samples drilled from deep beneath the sea have revealed just how much global sea levels changed following the last ice age. Melting ice caps in North America, Antarctica and Europe caused sea ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climates trajectory.
