"Humans may have prevented super ice age" is the title of an article
from New Scientist. According to this article, some researchers argue
that "(b)efore we started pumping massive amounts of carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere, the planet was on the brink of entering a semi-
permanent ice age". Our CO2 emissions may have preventeda long lasting
ice age. The article states that "none of the researchers contacted by
New Scientist thought the model's predictions are worth taking
seriously". However, the idea that something like this might have
happened is interesting.
