Scientists predicted a new ice age in 10 thousand years (photo)
It's time to prepare for a new ice age, which will begin in about 10 thousand years. However, there is other data that it may not occur.
They took the Earth's climate cycles as a basis and came to the conclusion that the next ice age will begin in 10 thousand years, writes Science magazine.
They confirmed Milutin Milankovic's theory, according to which the climate changes due to fluctuations in the Earth's orbit, axial tilt, and precession. These factors determine how much solar heat the planet receives.
But there is a nuance. Due to carbon dioxide emissions, humanity can interfere with the natural climate cycle. So this can change the natural course of events.
