Is it possible to have an ice age in the future?

Are we overdue for an ice age?
The last ice age to 18,000 years ago, but warm periods (called interglacials) last about 15,000 years. All of which means, we are 1,000 to 3,000 years overdue for another ice age, which could be upon us, if it weren't for mankind's activity.
