Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...

A researcher with UW collaborated on the project to come up with the most precise predictive Ice Age model to date.

The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that began during around 1300 CE and lasted until about 1850. Average temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere dropped by about 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit ...
