Scientists have uncovered a missing feedback in Earth’s carbon cycle that could cause global warming to overshoot into an ice ...

Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

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 ...

Earth has experienced several climate cycles throughout its long history, including several ice ages that caused the planet to freeze over. The last ice age occurred approximately 11,700 years ago, ...

A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of Earth’s ...

After 700 years, the Trasllambrión glacier in Spain has completely disappeared, marking the end of an ice age in the Picos de ...

Los Angeles is burning, but it isn't alone. In recent years, fires have blasted through cities in Colorado, the southern Appalachians and the island of Maui, along with Canada, Australia, Portugal and ...

About 9,000 years ago, part of Antarctica’s eastern ice sheet collapsed astonishingly fast, driven by warmer ocean water. The ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climates trajectory. (Santa Barbara, ...

Scientists now believe intense global warming could paradoxically lead to a future ice age. Learn how an ocean feedback loop ...
