Study Reveals How Earth's Orbit Triggers Ice Ages, And There's One in The Next 11,000 Years
Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

Green Sahara: African Humid Periods Paced by Earth's Orbital Changes
Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes.

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.
