Earth’s soil is drying up. It could be irreversible.
The losses in soil moisture already pose issues for farming, irrigation systems and critical water resources for humans. But ...

Earth's axis tilts 31.5 inches - and scientists pinpoint exactly who is to blame
Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm), a recent study reveals. Climate change researchers uncovered this alarming ...

What would happen if Earth reversed its rotation and spun backwards
Well, you'll change a lot more than just the sunsets ... That's how quickly Earth rotates on its axis, from West to East. And that rotation is largely responsible for the distribution of every ...

Study says climate change will even make Earth's orbit a mess
Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. MIT researchers calculated that as global warming ...

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 angle away from vertical as it rotates around the sun, affecting how much solar energy hits each of the poles, in particular.

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.

A looming ice age? Scientists find a striking pattern in Earth's history.
A group of scientists think they can now predict when the next ice age could grip Earth, but don't worry, it's not for a very long time. An ice age should begin in about 10,000 years, but its ...

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 ...
