Humans accidentally canceled the next Ice Age, scientists say

Original: Humans accidentally canceled the next Ice Age, scientists say – CNN

Scientists say human activity, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, has pushed off the onset of the next Ice Age, which would otherwise have begun within tens of thousands of years. The finding highlights the scale of humanity's impact on Earth's long-term climate cycles, with researchers noting the delay could last hundreds of thousands of years and carries uncertain consequences for future climate stability.

Why now: New CNN coverage of a scientific finding that human emissions have postponed the next glacial period is drawing attention to humanity's unprecedented climate influence.
