Study says human warming ended a coming ice age

Original: We'd Be Entering an Ice Age Right Now if Climate Change Hadn't Terminated It, Study Suggests - ciscal https://www. scien

A new study suggests Earth would be entering a new ice age right now if human-caused climate change had not interrupted the natural glacial cycle. Researchers say the planet was heading toward another glacial period, but industrial-era greenhouse gas emissions pushed it off course. The finding highlights just how deeply human activity has altered Earth's long-term climate patterns.

Why now: New research linking climate change to the prevention of a natural ice age cycle is striking and shareable
