Is the size of the glacier increasing or decreasing? We've heard that within the next couple thousand years there could be another ice age. Paul and Larysa

ice ages are indeed cyclical. they correlate with the minor changes in the earths tilt and orbit. so yes, we are due for another ice age and more to come.. how big this next one will be is anyone's guess, with carbon dioxide at such high levels in the atmosphere it is a difficult mathematical model to make.
