Question

How cold where the ice ages?

Answer 1

depends on which ice age. there are two in earths history. Im not to clear on the first one (the very snowey one) but the second one, the 'Little Ice Age' was not much cooler than it is now. It just dropped tempature too fast for the people to adapt. The little ice age occured during mid-evil times.

Answer 7

Technically, we are still in an ice age, because there is year-around ice on Greenland and the Antarctic.  But during the last great glacial period, 25,000 years ago, the average temperatures were about 6 or 8 deg C (11 deg F) colder than now.  Also, the temperature differences between the  arctic and the equator were around 12 deg C more than now.

Arctic regions: 12 deg C colder

Average: 6 deg C colder

Equator: about the same as now, or a bit cooler. Also a lot dryer.

Approx. 8-10 degrees C cooler than current averages
