“As little as 10,000 years.”

If you look at temperature charts for the last 400,000 to 800,000 years, it looks as if it could start a lot sooner than 10K years. Then again, given recent knowledge about the potential for asteroids, comets, etc. to crash into Earth creating major mess, we have no way of knowing exactly when anything is going to happen.

I also noticed that they referred to a drop in the ocean level of 900 ft with major glaciation. I thought that the maximum lowering of sea level at the end of the last Ice Age was around 400 ft. I don’t trust their figures.
