A July 18 post (direct link, archive link) on X, formerly Twitter, features an illustration of the sun. "THE REAL REASON FOR CLIMATE CHANGE: The distance of where you are from the Sun is constantly ...

This video explores the Milankovitch cycles, the astronomical theory proposed by Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovitch, which explains how variations in Earth’s orbit, axial tilt, and precession ...

What exactly is a Milankovitch Cycle? Let’s answer this question with another one. What causes climate change? Many known causes are man-made, like the excess burning of fossil fuels, which has led to ...

We track Mercury retrogrades and lunar eclipses - but the real long game is hidden in orbital shifts known as Milankovitch cycles. These ancient patterns - first recognized in the 1920s - govern Earth ...

Changes in Earth's orbit have helped pace climatic change for millennia. Scientists are now trying to understand whether - and how - these changes remodeled the landscapes our ancient ancestors ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to predict ...

(via PBS Terra) Is global warming just part of Earth’s natural cycle? In this episode of Weathered, we break down why that’s not the full story. From ice ages and Milankovitch cycles to the role of ...

The gravitational tug of Mars may be strong enough to stir up Earth’s ocean, shifting its sediments as part of a 2.4-million-year climate cycle, researchers claim. It has long been accepted that ...

"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere have already diverted the climate from its natural ...
