tick to viewSeveral thousand years from now , sheets of glass will spread over most of the globe , plunging the Earth into a semi - lasting ice age . At least , that was Mother Nature ’s plan . But a new field of study suggests that global thawing cause by carbon copy dioxide in the Earth ’s standard pressure may have staved off the most uttermost glass geezerhood the mankind has ever catch . alas , climatologist monish , that is n’t exactly a good affair . Climate researchers at the University of Edinburgh have been make models to promise the path of future climate event . In studying past glass ages , they have found that the ice age have been lasting longer , and that the temperature extremes between the ice ages have become more pronounced . They predict that , without human intervention , the next Methedrine old age could have been the most sound in late geological story , lasting more than a hundred thousand years . Global warming , however , may have postponed that crack ice eld indefinitely :
“ Climate skeptics could look at this and say , CO2 is good for us , ” read cogitation leader Thomas Crowley of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland . But the melodic theme that global warming may be stave off an ice age is “ not cause for relaxing , because we ’re in reality moving into a highly unusual mood state , ” Crowley sum up .
The challenge for climate scientist now is that the future climate will be inordinately unmanageable to predict , as the affected increase in carbon dioxide has allow researchers with no exemplar on which to base their foretelling . [ National Geographic ]
