“Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems.”
http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpine...
“Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia…Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.”

“The Academy membership is composed of approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates, of whom nearly 200 have won Nobel Prizes.
Members and foreign associates of the Academy are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.”
Yes because Ice Age 5 (2016) is scheduled July 15, 2016

well- we've had several of them so far. Not sure how long ago they started - several million years. And the ice comes and goes. We're just between ice Ages right now....... And in the last Ice Age, people were a new species.
And in a short time people have been able to just about kill the planet.
Earth was emerging out of the last glacial cycle, the warming trend was interrupted 12,800 years ago when temperatures dropped dramatically in only several decades. A mere 1,300 years later, temperatures locally spiked as much as 20°F (11°C) within just several years. Sudden changes like this occurred at least 24 times during the past 100,000 years. In a relative sense, we are in a time of unusually stable temperatures today
When I was at school in the 60s we were told we're heading into another ice age.
For about 2 and half million years we have had one every hundred thousand years or so but they depend on several factors and so some are a bit different than others. We are due but it is a process that takes thousands of years and we probably began cooling several thousand years ago but we have had a few minor warm and cool periods since then such the Little Ice Age that ended about 300 years ago that alarmists typically insist was only local in Europe....

Possibly 2016
Ice ages happen about every 10000 years, and we are overdue for one now. Perhaps global warming will cancel out the effects.
Yes
Technically we are still in an ice age, this is merely an interglacial. This interglacial could end this millennium or it could go on for a few thousand more years. However the peak of this interglacial occurred thousands of years ago.

Yes
No, because the world is warming, Ice are melting. Temperature is increasing. Sea level increasing. so i see no chance of ice age anymore.

If a large enough asteroid strikes the earth or a super volcano erupts. For all we know,there just might be a rogue planet out there that will stray close enough to cause all kinds of disasters on earth.
Not for at least 60,000 years and then only if the earth's inhabitants are not adding CO2 to the atmosphere.
Ice ages begin when insolation (sunlight) is low during summer along the Arctic circle. The insolation has to be so low that the winter ice does not thaw during the summer and ice plates begin to grow. This happens only when the cycles of the earth's tilt and orbit are just right -- and that is what will not happen for at least 60,000 years. Then, even when the cycles (called the Milankovitch Cycles) are right to start the growth of ice plates in the far north, the earth can enter a glacial period only due to feedbacks, especially the albedo effect (more ice reflects more energy) and a decrease in atmospheric CO2 due to the cooling of the oceans. Without this CO2 decrease the earth would not enter a glacial period.
Yes for sure ice-ages are the norm they last for about 100,000yrs and the warm periods in between (interglacials) only last for about 10,000yrs, our interglacial has lasted 12,000yrs so we are overdue.

No
I have no idea.
Ice age has a cycle, it repeats in every 23,000 years, as per the research. There will be an ice unless humans don't manipulate the environment
