When will the next ice age happen? - Lorraine Lisiecki Some ice ages may actually have been pretty warm. Yes, the ground has been covered by vast amounts of ice, but the actual weather was pretty pleasant.Sometimes, the events that lead to an ice age are so severe that even if the atmosphere was full of greenhouse gases (which keep the heat of the sun in the atmosphere, heating up the planet), the ice still begins to form because after the pollution gets thick enough, it might start bouncing the Sun’s rays back in space. Experts say this would turn the world into a giant “Baked Alaska” dessert—cold on the inside (ice on surface), hot on the outside (warm atmosphere).
