Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Earth's axis is currently tilted at a 23.5-degree ... For the study, the researchers plotted known changes in obliquity and precession over the past 800,000 years. They also plotted the expansion ...

The next ice age is coming in 10,000 years — unless climate change prevents it
The key players in these cycles are Earth's obliquity, the precession of its rotational axis and the shape of Earth's orbit around the sun. Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket ...

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Notably, a 1976 study found geological evidence showing that two of Earth's parameters — obliquity and precession, or changes in Earth's axial tilt and how the axis wobbles around itself, respectively ...

Next Ice Age Should Be 10,000 Years Away – But Humans May Disrupt That
The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

Scientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts
They were able to match these changes with small cyclical variations in the shape of Earth's orbit of the sun, its wobble, and the angle at which its axis is tilted. "We found a predictable ...
