> the ending of the interglacial period we are currently in

If you're worried about the next ice age, I think we have more pressing matters as a species than an event that isn't due for another 23,000 to 50,000 years.[0]

To borrow an analogy, that's a bit like worrying about over-population on Mars 500 years from now, while nuclear weapons are being detonated in enough major cities to annihilate human civilisation in the next 0.5 years.
