Human Fossil Fuel Emissions May Have Canceled the Next Ice Age

Human fossil fuel emissions may have accidentally canceled the next ice ageScientists studied ancient plant remains and rock traces beneath the ice layer.

The ice sheet reached its smallest size roughly three thousand years ago.

Then cooling air slowly forced the ice sheet to begin growing again. Experts argue this regrowth marks the beginning of a new ice age.

However, since the nineteen sixties, human emissions reversed this natural cooling trend. Researchers warn warming may have entirely erased all possible future ice ages.
