      If we prepare enough then yes hopefully. Is this going to happen?

      That depends on if we have enough energy to keep warm. We have the technology now to survive but our energy supply may be difficult. The real issue is will we survive a global heat wave? Once the body’s temperature rises above around 40 C it starts to shut down. If we are constantly at high temperatures the chances are the body will just give up.

      Is there going to be another ice age??? I think that we could do if we knew it was coming and we prepared enough. We could build things like indoor cities which were warm..and enclosed environments for animals to continue to live in and reproduce so we have food to eat!
