"We now know that the reason we live on an Earth with ice caps -- rather than an ice-free planet -- is due to a coincidental combination of very low rates of global volcanism, and highly dispersed ...

Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...

The findings from Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service involve the third warmest February on record for the planet.

We’re living in a weird time on Earth: a period when our planet has ice. Amid persistent and frequent record heat, it may be surprising to hear that Earth is currently relatively cool — at ...

Earth’s climate follows a natural cycle of ice ages and warm periods. A new study shows that small orbital changes drive ...

CARDIFF - The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published in Science ...

An influx of freshwater from the ice sheets could have major implications for the Earth’s oceans and climate (Image credit: NASA/GSFC/OIB) Gayen was one of the researchers who reported the ...

The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet's history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research. A team of ...
