Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex ...

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

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...

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 ...

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

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

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

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural ...

It has been assumed that changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun are responsible for the ice age cycles. It is now clear ...

Research links Earth's axial tilt to past ice ages, showing human-driven warming may prevent future glaciations.

Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the ...
