@Masauk,
Have you tried doing a query using search engine? Try Google and try Wikipedia:

I'll give you a jump start and post the links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age

@Masauk,
Well, those links are where you would find out about Ice Ages and what the science is behind them.

Is there something you need to know that is not contained in those links?

@Ragman,
I will read it first, the second link should be helpful. Wikipedia does not help me, I am more interested in signs of the Ice Age and stuffs like that.

@Masauk,
Seriously?

Wikipedia doesn't help?
What exactly do you want to know that isn't covered?
Signs of Ice Ages? You mean evidence for (#2), origin of (#1), When they were (#3), Causes of (#6) how it effected the earth (#6 through #6.7) etc etc.

It looks like anything you want to know about all the different ice ages the earth has had is all there.

Type into Good "Geology Ice Age" and you will get enough information to satisfy anyone.


1 Origin of ice age theory
2 Evidence for ice ages
3 Major ice ages
4 Glacials and interglacials
5 Positive and negative feedback in glacial periods

5.2 Negative feedback processes
6 Causes of ice ages

6.2 Position of the continents
6.3 Fluctuations in ocean currents
6.4 Uplift of the Tibetan plateau and surrounding mountain areas above the snowline
6.5 Variations in Earth's orbit (Milankovitch cycles)

@Masauk,
You're still vague about what wasn't covered in those links.

In the Wiki article, it listed is the following:
Quote:
Evidence for ice ages

There are three main types of evidence for ice ages: geological, chemical, and paleontological.


Perhaps your going to a public library and doing some research would make this so much easier for you. Just a thought.

@Ragman,
This is one of those cases where I can't believe someone managed to find A2K, but couldn't figure out how to google a topic.

How exactly did this person get here?

I just googled "answers to questions" and "where can I find out about something" and we don't come up on the first page.

I also googled "signs of ice age" and we're not there either.

That's something I've always been curious about.
It's a mystery to me.

@farmerman,
Doesn't Wiki offer links and other topics you can check to research ice age and related ice age information. I'm not aware of any one single source you can use to find out every freaking thing that pertains to 'ice age'.

One of my hobbies is reading biographies of people living during the 1880 tp 1935 time period. I aways find mention of people I need to look up, I never know where that information might take me. But I do it because I'm curious about that era and I'm not turning it in for a grade. It explains why, in 2016, I know what an 'oater' and a weeper' are, not even useful in a trivial pursuit game.Research is not for lazy people.

@glitterbag,
If youre interested , one of the most famous geo-scientists who researched the Pleistocene Glaciation Pulses and their effects in the US and Europe is RICHARD FOSTER FLINT. He died in the mid to late 1970's.

I am looking for informations because I am dealing with the natural phenomenons. Recently, I reviewed some informations and I am worrying about the state of the Earth. I'm worried that in a short time ice age could come. I am writing on this forum because I didn't find other, well i did but they are not good enough. I have no time to wait for answer so long. Hope you understand. And it's not that i am lazy or something, i just can't find what i am looking for. And what am i looking for is: Are we in danger?

@Masauk,
We are not in any immediate danger. Ice Ages do not arrive like the seasons. They usually take hundreds or thousands of years take hold.

@Masauk,
There is a really poorly rated movie called Age of Ice - maybe this could answer your questions. Oh and it is also a book. But from what you write my guess is you are more a movie person.
