Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change

Earth's orbit influences the climate much more than anyone imagined. .

A new publication in the journal Science attempts to clarify the role of Earth's movements in space in relation to the Sun, on terrestrial climate cycles.

A Critical Moment for the Ice Age Trail: What We Learned at “Hike the Hill” - Ice Age Trail Alliance

Going into “Hike the Hill” this year, we knew things would be different. What we didn’t fully grasp was just how challenging the situation had become.

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change

Shifts in Earth's tilt and orbit have played a crucial role in the onset and end of ice ages over the past 800,000 years, researchers have found. A direct link between these changes and the movements of massive ice sheets has been identified, indicating that another ice age would have started within the next 11,000 years if not for the rising impact of greenhouse gas emissions. The study examined how Earth's axial tilt and orbit influence long-t…
