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

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

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

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published Thursday in Science ...

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 how this works. An international research team may have discovered ...

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

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 researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are ...

This approach allowed the team to determine how the three orbital factors -- tilt, wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun -- interact to drive ice age cycles over the past 900,000 ...
