The planet’s long-standing natural “thermostat” is being outpaced by an feedback loop process involving algae, phosphorus, and oxygen that’s supercharged by anthropogenic climate change.

First, what is an ice age? It’s when the Earth has cold temperatures for a long time – millions to tens of millions of years – that lead to ice sheets and glaciers covering large areas of its surface.

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...
