The more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide humans have emitted into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution are expected to cause enough warming to disrupt this long-term glacial ...

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 increasing ...

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and warm interglacial periods. A new study has uncovered a clear, predictable ...

Glacier movement, or glaciation, is known to scrape up and ferry terrestrial ... However, climate change’s global progress is still mapped by studying the interplay of CO2 buildup, feedback loops and ...

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