Well, seeing as how the last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago, I think we have a little bit of time before the next one starts, providing there is to be a next one. Since geologists don't know what caused the current round of glaciation they can't predict when another one will start. In the 1500s (or there abouts), Europe experienced what is termed the "Little Ice Age", and temperatures fell several degrees for a while, but a full blown ice age is anyones guess. Ice ages are rare events in geological history, so keep on burning fossil fuels and maybe we can get the earth's temperature up there where it belongs!

apparently we are overdue for one so any day now in geologic terms. since geologic time frames are so long it could be tens of thousands of years before the next one though.
