It's not a matter of whether an ice age will happen again or not. It will happen, we just don't know when, and it's likely that it's also overdue, which means it can unexpectedly come at any time.
Do you think civilization will survive the next ice age or not?

People of Yakutsk do fine in their prolonged -40C winters. They'll definitely survive the next ice age. Maybe those in the tropics might not survive the conditions...

Modern civilization will have collapsed for some other reason by the time thereโs another ice age

AGW will delay the next ice age by tens of thousands of years, by that time civilization will have either collapsed or evolved from its current state

Civilization will not collapse because of colder winters, but because of cold summers. A cold summer destroys plant life.
In an Ice Age the tropics and lower subtropics will be the only suitable places for modern agriculture.

There will never be another ice age. At least not on human timescales. Thankfully we have artificially warmed the planet as to postpone such a disaster.

Iโm sorry but humans are not warming the planet. There will be another ice age soon. And yet, even when the ice age finally arrive, liberals are still going to whine about climate change. |

But most of their food is imported from warmer regions of Russia. Greenhouses are a thing you know. Many subarctic cities in Russia are beginning to build greenhouses to become more self-sufficient in fresh vegetable produce. and despite the short growing season, you can get a decent harvest from an outdoor garden bed. You would just need more land to make up for the shorter season. I think the transition period would be tough depending on how quickly the Ice age would arrive, but with our current technology I think humanity would do just fine in the end. |
