Scientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts
Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging ...
A looming ice age? Scientists find a striking pattern in Earth's history.
Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...
Our next ice age is due in 10,000 years, but there's a catch
Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...

Scientists figure out when next ice age will happen — except humans likely changed everything
Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.
The Next Ice Age Is 10,000 Years Away, Or Is It?
For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...
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 ...

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...
Human-caused emissions have delayed Earth’s next ice age, study says. But by how long?
The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades.

Our next ice age is due in 10,000 years, but there's a catch
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 ...
