Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Notably, a 1976 study found geological evidence showing that two of Earth's parameters — obliquity and precession, or changes in Earth's axial tilt and how the axis wobbles around itself, respectively ...

The next ice age is coming in 10,000 years — unless climate change prevents it
Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...

Massive Volcanoes May Erupt in Sync With Earth’s Orbit— New Study Finds a Startling Link
New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...
Vernal equinox marks the emergence of spring
The Earth’s axis is at right angles to the line from sun to Earth, the sun is directly over the equator and the lengths of ...
Ice Ages Follow a Hidden Pattern, and Scientists Just Cracked It
Glacial cycles aren’t random; they follow a predictable rhythm dictated by Earth’s orbit. A study analyzing climate records ...

Green Sahara: African Humid Periods Paced by Earth's Orbital Changes
The main climatic effect of precession is to shift the season when the Earth has its closest pass to the Sun (perihelion) — the so-called precession of the equinoxes. Today, perihelion occurs in ...

Next Ice Age Should Be 10,000 Years Away – But Humans May Disrupt That
The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

The next ice age is coming in 10,000 years — unless climate change prevents it
The key players in these cycles are Earth's obliquity, the precession of its rotational axis and the shape of Earth's orbit around the sun. Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket ...
