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

Meteorologist Rich Segal answers viewer questions in depth on topics like informing audiences about climate change's impacts, interglacial periods affecting weather, and why noctilucent clouds are ...

The team found that the changes in the Earth's climate, from ice ages to warm periods like today called interglacial conditions, synced up to the orbital behavior. “We were amazed to find such a ...

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.

Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis ...

There are times when the global climate is warmer (interglacial phases) and times when it has been cooler (glacial phases), when there have been ice ages. The last major cold period was known as ...

Holocene paleoclimate data from the Arctic: Testing models of global climate change. Quaternary Science Reviews 20, 1275-1287 (2001). ———— Last interglacial Arctic warmth confirms polar ...

“And because we are now living in an interglacial period – called the Holocene – we are also able to provide an initial prediction of when our climate might return to a glacial state,” said co- author ...
