I did a little searching to see if there's anything to my guess that global warming could postpone the next ice age, and there's a lot of people suggesting that is in fact the case. One example: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/13/fossil-fuel-burning-postponing-next-ice-age https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/13/fossil-f... Ice ages are actually scarier to me than global warming, so I think that's a good thing on the whole. It's just we have to deal with the negative consequences now, whereas an ice age is a much further future concern. One reason ice ages are so scary, is it would cause much larger mass migrations of people than global warming, and it would devastate our ability to grow crops in the northern hemisphere, where we currently produce most of our food. Global warming may actually enhance our ability to grow crops in the northern latitudes - with longer growing seasons, for example.
