Milankovitch cycles are long-term variations in Earth’s orbit and tilt that have a profound impact on our planet’s climate over tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. These ...

One of the most important systems explaining these patterns is the Milankovitch cycles, a theory that connects variations in Earth’s orbit with long-term climate change.

In fact, the Milankovitch cycles would predict gradual global cooling. Man-made greenhouse gases, primarily CO 2, are unequivocally driving present-day warming, according to the Intergovernmental ...

While the exchanges between Rolf Westgard and Professor John Abraham are interesting, they do not deal with the really long-term elements of climate change. I invite them, through the opinion page ...

However, research has shown that the Milankovitch cycles did not undergo any kind of big change a million years ago, so something else likely was at work.
