I'm not sure I under stand the question.. but There have beenway more than 2 ice ages so far by historical and geol fact.. this NEXT one would be by no means the 2nd if and when it happens.. it would be more like the 7th thats already happened.. (and thats just in talking monky understanding of fact)

Now as to he first part of yer statment.. Earth will extend WELL beyond Mandkind if hes here or not (I'm betting not in the next 700 years actually).. what the sun has another 6 billion years leftGive or take some say 8 billion.. I dont think so) .. man will by no means last even another 7K years let alone that long.. You are just a Blip in the history dude.. a freak talking monkey.. yer not even gonna be here then nor your kind...)

Our planet, like others, revolves around the sun in an eliptical orbit. This means that it is closer to the sun sometimes. the earth also 'wobbles' during orbit, and this can alter the aphelion (furthest point from the sun). this can change the time of the year when we are closer to or further from the sun, thus affecting climate. The orbit is also not centerd on the sun. the sun sits closer to one end of the elipse than the other, which can affect the speed of the earth. There are other factors which affect the world's climate, which is why it has gone through several cylcles of extreme cold (ice ages) and extreme heat (carboniferous age) so all things are possible
I'm not disregarding the "greenhouse affect" that is a whole different issue.

The other planets in the world? There's only one: Earth.
