Earth, ice age

Earth’s Next Ice Age Might Already Be on the Way—Here’s What Scientists Just Discovered
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 Sun.
A looming ice age? Scientists find a striking pattern in Earth's history.
Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ages.
The Next Ice Age Is 10,000 Years Away, Or Is It?
For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and warm interglacial periods. A new study has uncovered a clear, predictable pattern in these shifts,
Scientists figure out when next ice age will happen — except humans likely changed everything
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),
Next Ice Age Should Be 10,000 Years Away – But Humans May Disrupt That
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,
Earth’s ice age cycles are predictable - but humans may change that
Earth’s climate follows a natural cycle of ice ages and warm periods. A new study shows that small orbital changes drive these shifts.
Human-caused emissions have delayed Earth’s next ice age, study says. But by how long?
The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades. View on euronews

‘Earth’s axis and orbit shape its seasons— other planets have winter and summer too’
the common understanding is that Earth’s tilt dominates seasons. That said, my research makes an argument for Earth’s orbital eccentricity being underappreciated in determining our seasons.

Meteorological Spring vs. Astronomical Spring. Here's the difference
Astronomical seasons are based on the Earth's position around the sun. Spring begins at the Vernal Equinox, which occurs at 2:01 a.m. PDT on March 20 this year. The Equinox marks the point in the ...
