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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Both parameters and their interplay are important, but the changes from precession have a stronger influence on the beginning ...

The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it's telling us something about what the planet's ...

The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades.View on ...

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

Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ages.

However, the effects of human-made climate change will be so long-lasting that they could prevent the next ice age from ever happening. "Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time ...

Earth has experienced several climate cycles throughout its long history, including several ice ages that caused the planet to freeze over. The last ice ag | Earth And The Environment ...
