Global Warming Partly Sun's Fault
	There is little doubt now about what causes climate change, but whether or not carbon dioxide is the sole factor responsible for global warming is another subject of debate, says Manuel Vazquez of the Canary Islands' Astrophysics Institute. Statistics indicate that the Sun could account for as much as 20 percent of the climate change effects the planet is currently experiencing. In fact, it is widely believed that along with volcanic ... [read more >>]

Wind Speed, Key Component for Climate Change During Last Ice Age
	The change in the circulation patterns of oceanic currents is likely to have been the key mechanism for the abrupt climate change that took place during the last glacial period of Earth more than 21,000 years ago. If this is indeed true, then air temperature and wind speed could have also had a significant contribution to the process. Now, researchers from the Complutense University and the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research bri ... [read more >>]

Comet Might Have Hit Earth during the Last Ice Age
	A new study shows that the massive explosion of a comet into Earth's atmosphere during the last Ice Age might have rained diamonds and precious metals over the North American continent, leading to the mass killing of both animals and humans alike. In fact, most of the diamonds and precious metal deposits in several states across the Unites States did not even originate there but were brought from the northern Canadian territories, alt ...

Solar Activity and Climate on Earth
	It is most certain that Earth's clime took a severe turn towards global warming ever since the Industrial Revolution began. Greenhouse gas concentrations have been rising steadily since, but one cannot stop wondering what the Sun's part is in all this. How does the Sun itself affect the clime of our planet? "For the last 20 to 30 years we believe greenhouse gases have been the dominant influence on recent climate change" ... [read more >>]

Mars Could Have Been Through Ice Ages
	Mars is often viewed as a planet that has been climatically active in a distant past, having flowing water on its surface as early as 3.5 billion years ago. At some point in time around this date, Mars' clime took a turning point rendering it much as the way we see it today. New discoveries made with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal that Mars' clime may have been in fact much more active than previously thought, a ... [read more >>]

Scientist get Insight into Magnetic Flip
	It's no secret now. Planets, stars may vary their magnetic fields so severely that could eventually reverse poles. Magnetic north becomes south and vice versa. Geologic evidences strongly suggest that even our planet could have reversed its poles a number of times in the past. The Sun's magnetic field orientation slightly changes its direction every eleven years, time interval directly related to the solar activity, sin ... [read more >>]

One More Orbit Around the Sun. But Is That All It Is?
	We have taught ourselves to believe that all the planets have roughly circular orbits around stars and have changed much over the years, but the truth is far from this presumption. Planets, like all bodies in the universe have highly elliptical orbits, where the 'central' orbited body is situated in one of the focal points of the ellipse. Not only that, but these elliptical orbits tend to oscillate in shape more and mor ... [read more >>]

More Slush Age Rather than Ice Age
	According to experts, the longest and deepest ice age known in history, in which the Earth's clime cooled considerably for a few hundred million years, causing the planet to completely freeze over, has been misinterpreted. Actually, the event, which took place in the Neoproterozoic era, from about 850 to 542 million year ago, was stopped by carbon dioxide emissions from volcanoes. The theory that the Earth might have been complet ... [read more >>]
