“At the end of the day, does it really matter much if the start of the next ice age is 50, 100, or 200 thousand years into the future?” Ridgwell said in a press statement. “We need to focus now on limiting ongoing warming. That the Earth will naturally cool back down is not going to happen fast enough to help us out.”

The work and context may be interesting, but this is the only paragraph you need to recognize from this article.
