NORTHERN HEMISPHERE TO BE COVERED IN ICE IN AROUND 50,000 YEARS COZ JUPITER AND SATURN

"What does an ice age look like? It typically looks the whole of the Northern Hemisphere covered in ice.

“Two kilometres of ice on Canada and the alpine glaciers spread to Lyon.

“We could walk from England to France.

“In the future we expect these conditions to come in 40,000 to 60,000 years."

The programme went on to explain how the solar system is to blame for such events.

The narrator added: “Our distant cousins – Saturn and Jupiter – are responsible.
“These two planets are so big that their mass periodically deforms the Earth’s orbit, making it more elliptic.

“Since the sun is further away, the energy we receive from it lessens.

“The Earth’s orbit around the sun causes the quantity of the energy received at the surface of the planet to change with time.

“If we take winter snowfall at out latitudes, there needs to be enough energy during the summer to make it melt but, if it is not strong enough, the snow will stay and form a glacier over summer.”
