"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon ...

The more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide humans have emitted into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution ...

Understanding Earth's climate history helps scientists predict how tectonic activity, CO2 levels, and other factors might shape the planet's future. The Sturtian glaciation serves as a reminder ...

Glacier movement, or glaciation, is known to scrape up and ... including the role played by carbon dioxide (CO2) and the behavior of feedback loops, when a process feeds into an existing aspect ...

Some research suggests the CO2 released from burning fossil fuels could cause the planet to repeatedly skip glacial periods for at least the next 500,000 years. "Such a transition to a glacial ...

The most recent period of glaciation, which many people think ... Changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a strong candidate to explain the overall pattern of climatic ...

Without human interference, Earth’s next glaciation would “occur within the next 11,000 years, and it would end in 66,000 years’ time,” according to Barker. But with carbon dioxide levels ...

Credit: John Sonntag/NASA The developed climate model shows that the decrease in volcanic CO2 emissions and the increase in carbon storage by forests are insufficient on their own. It is their ...

Glacier movement, or glaciation, is known to scrape up and ferry ... global progress is still mapped by studying the interplay of CO2 buildup, feedback loops and tipping points, he added.
