US EditionScientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts
- Scientists predict that Earth could enter another ice age in approximately 10,000 years if not for human emissions, based on Earth's orbital changes.
- The findings suggest that human greenhouse gas emissions may alter the expected timeline of future climate changes.
- The study reveals a strong correlation between Earth's tilt and ice sheet movement, indicating predictable climate patterns over time.
- Lead author Stephen Barker stated that CO2 levels will prevent the transition to a glacial state despite the natural cycle.

This hypothesis emerges from research carried out by the University of California; what its results were and why they are so important
The Next Ice Age Is 10,000 Years Away, Or Is It?
For millions of years, Earth’s climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and warm interglacial periods. A new study has uncovered a clear, predictable pattern in these shifts, revealing that the next ice age should naturally begin in about 10,000 years. However, human activities — especially greenhouse [...]
Roughly 11,000 years from now, if climate change doesn't disrupt the natural cycle. But he probably will.
Scientists figure out when next ice age will happen -- except humans likely changed everything
By analyzing ancient climate records preserved in ocean sediments, researchers from Cardiff University, UC Santa Barbara, Alfred Wegener Institute, and University College London have identified how three specific orbital cycles control the timing of Earth's ice ages with remarkable precision. The post Scientists figure out when next ice age will happen — except humans likely changed everything appeared first on Study Finds.
