Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new model doesn’t account for how human-made carbon emissions could change these processes.

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

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.

Earth emerged from the last ice age around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests the next one could be expected in 10,000 years’ time.

Earth’s climate has long been shaped by subtle but powerful shifts in its orbit. These slow, predictable changes drive the planet in and out of ice ages over tens of thousands of years. A recent study offers new insights into this natural climate rhythm,

Changes in Earth’s orbit drive long-term glacial cycles, but a new forecast suggests this ancient pattern is being disrupted for tens of thousands of years due to human-induced global warming

Over 700 million years ago, Earth experienced a dramatic climate event known as the Sturtian glaciation, one of the most extreme ice ages in history. During this period, the planet was encased in ice from pole to equator,

Carbon emissions probably canceled Earth’s next icy climate appointment, expected to occur in 10,000 years In a nutshell Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble),

For many millions of years, our planet has experienced glacial periods followed by warmer periods. A crucial role in these changes might come from the orbital motion of our planet. By studying how our planet moves and wobbles,
