The missed inception can be accounted for by the combined effect of relatively high late-Holocene CO2\u00a0concentrations and the low orbital eccentricity of the Earth. Additionally, our analysis suggests that even in the absence of human perturbations no substantial build-up of ice sheets would occur within the next several thousand years and that the current interglacial would probably last for another 50,000 years. However, moderate anthropogenic cumulative CO2\u00a0emissions of 1,000 to 1,500 gigatonnes of carbon will postpone the next glacial inception by at least <strong>100,000 years<span style=\"font-size: 11.6667px;\">.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dal <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/nature\/journal\/v529\/n7585\/full\/529162a.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commento<\/a><\/strong> di <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climate.be\/users\/crucifix\/frontpage\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michel Crucifix<\/a> (!):<\/p>\n<p><em>Such long-term consequences may seem surprising, given that the emissions will occur over a few centuries at most and that anthropogenic CO2 will eventually be absorbed by the oceans. But for this absorption to occur, carbonate minerals in the ocean will need to be dissolved, to counteract the increase in ocean acidity that occurs when CO2 is absorbed, and which limits the amount of CO2 that can be dissolved. This takes time. In fact, the mean half-life of CO2 in the atmosphere is of the order of 35,000 years. Consequently, anthropogenic CO2 will still be in the atmosphere in 50,000 years&#8217; time, and even 100,000 years, which is enough to prevent any glaciation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pik-potsdam.de\/news\/press-releases\/human-made-climate-change-suppresses-the-next-ice-age\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">com. stampa<\/a> del PIK:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLike no other force on the planet, ice ages have shaped the global environment and thereby determined the development of human civilization.

However, today it is humankind with its emissions from burning fossil fuels that determines the future development of the planet,\u201d co-author and PIK-Director Hans Joachim Schellnhuber says. \u201cThis illustrates very clearly that we have long entered a new era, and that in the Anthropocene humanity itself has become a geological force.
