OK, I'll bite. How do you figure?
Because the reason one occured was because of an extremely large amount of volcanic eruptions that released large amounts of ash and soot which blocked the sun enough to cause drastic climate changes. once the super large deposits of ash disappeared the sun was able to warm the earth slowly and bring it's climate back to normal.

It is generally accepted that there have been at least five ice ages so far on Earth.

Yeah, the last one (the Wisconsin Stage glaciation) only ended 13,000 years ago. There are plenty of causes for ice ages and glaciation other than volcanism.
I assumed (as it seems Dusty did as well) that he was suggesting that there aren't going to be any more ice ages due to man-made climate change.

Next one's due in ~40,000 years. I've no doubt Dusty will still be here.
