Ice ages come every 11,000 years. A mega ice age comes every 105,000 years. Both are due between now and 2012.

This shows a colossal misunderstanding of these cycles. You can't project their onset with that kind of accuracy that they should start within the next six years. The 11,000 and 105,000 figures are very general and could have a 500-1,000 year error margin either way.

Physics being what it is I would think that a cycle based on planetary movement would be quite accurate.
