      Difficult to say, it depends on if we cut our emissions or not. But naturally, ice ages seem to occur in similar patterns that is based on the earth’s orbit. They tend to occur every 100,000 years. If we cut our emissions entirely it could be in the next few thousand years. Not in our lifetime though!
