Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change

Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while precession influences ice...
