Ice sheet remnant shows next ice age was on its way until humans reversed it, study finds
Barnes Ice Cap on Baffin Island gives direct evidence of natural re-expansion starting 2,000 years ago, stopped by modern warming
The last surviving fragment of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the Barnes Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic, holds direct physical evidence that the next ice age was naturally beginning about 2,000 years ago, until human-caused climate warming halted the process around 1960, according to a new study in the journal Science.
