earth - Can the next possible ice age be projected based upon the Milankovitch cycle?

This paper seems to be discussing what you've asked: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/297/5585/1287.full. The next ice age is expected to begin about 50,000 years from now. However, I think it's still debatable how accurate the predictions of Milankovitch cycles are, and how much of an effect humans are likely to have on this earth system.
