"It will come in 100,000 years, at the earliest, and will be much worse than the previous. Europe will be ice-bound, with glaciers reaching south of Moscow."

Actually I think we are toward the end of the inter-glaciation period and the next ice age should begin shortly, relatively speaking. Within the next 10,000 yrs, give or take.

According to some studies, we’re about 2,000 years overdue for an ice age. We can thank the greenhouse gases released by agriculture over the last 8,000 years for the period of grace (along with more recent industrialization, of course).
