Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...
The skeletal remains of a horse unearthed in Utah thought to date to the last ice age are actually much younger.
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 ...
Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.
The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...
A new study reveals that Earth's orbital changes have been driving the cycle of ice ages and warm periods for the past 2.5 ...
A group of scientists think they can now predict when the next ice age could grip Earth, but don't worry, it's not for a very long time. An ice age should begin in about 10,000 years, but its ...
Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...
The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural ...
On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climates trajectory.
