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

A researcher with UW collaborated on the project to come up with the most precise predictive Ice Age model to date.

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

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

Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.

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

When European diseases wiped out up to 90% of the Americas' population, abandoned farmland was swallowed by forests—pulling enough carbon from the air to help plunge the planet into a centuries-long ...

Woolly mammoths once roamed icy landscapes before going extinct around 4,000 years ago. Now, US biotech firm Colossal ...

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 ...

The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that began during around 1300 CE and lasted until about 1850. Average temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere dropped by about 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit ...

The skeletal remains of a horse unearthed in Utah thought to date to the last ice age are actually much younger.

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.
