"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon ...

Scientists can now predict these cycles with remarkable accuracy, finding that without human influence, Earth would begin ...

The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades.

The Earth has gone through successive glacial and interglacial periods for about 2.5 million years. A new study reveals when ...

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...

And it could also be useful to predict the future. Based on the orbital parameters, if humans had not altered the climate so ...

Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...

Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...

The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...

Earth’s climate follows a natural cycle of ice ages and warm periods. A new study shows that small orbital changes drive ...

This natural pattern—in the absence of human greenhouse gas emissions—suggests that we should currently be in the middle of a ...
