First Warning Weather Q&A: Climate change, Interglacial periods & Noctilucent clouds Posted: March 9, 2025 | Last updated: March 9, 2025 Meteorologist Rich Segal answers viewer questions in depth ...

Transitions between glacial and interglacial periods matched up with small variations in the shape of the Earth's orbit of the sun — how the Earth ‘wobbles' in space — and the angle of the ...

The team found that the changes in the Earth's climate, from ice ages to warm periods like today called interglacial conditions, synced up to the orbital behavior. “We were amazed to find such a ...
