Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic sea level rise of up to 65 feet in just 500 years or less. Despite the scale ...

Based off of this model, the next Ice Age would occur around 10,000 years from now if natural processes play out undisturbed. However, there is one unknown, and that is what effect the CO2 ...
