This striking prediction comes from research that has finally deciphered the mysterious rhythm governing our planet’s glacial cycles over the past million years. By analyzing ancient climate records ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have long known that small changes in how Earth orbits the sun influence glacial cycles over thousands of years. This analysis is the first time anyone has been able to determine which ...

Their findings, published in Science, offer new insights into Earth’s dynamic climate system and represent a step-change in understanding the planet’s glacial cycles. The team examined a million-year ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a ...

The solar system moved through a star-forming area near Orion. This event might have increased interstellar dust around Earth ...

Without human-induced climate change, Earth may have been on track to plunge into another glacial period within 11,000 years. This long-term forecast of the planet’s “natural” climate is ...

Analysis of Earth's past ice ages, tracked across one million years, has shed new light on the mystery of the planet's natural climate cycles ...

The discovery raises questions about how the Arctic carbon cycle is changing in response to climate change. Scientists now need to reassess methane budgets in the region, incorporating glacial ...

they struggled to pinpoint which orbital parameters were responsible for starting and ending these glacial cycles. According to Barker, the key breakthrough came from analyzing the "shape" of the ...

Their findings offer new insights into Earth's dynamic climate system and represent a step-change in understanding the planet's glacial cycles. The team examined a million-year record of climate ...
