Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...
Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.
Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...
For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...
Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...
Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit around the ...
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...
A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of ...
Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...
Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are increasing ...
