Exploring Earth's Climate Shifts: The Impact of Milankovitch Cycles

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of Milankovitch cycles and their profound impact on Earth's climate. In this enlightening video, we explore the intricate astronomical cycles named after Milutin Milankovitch, which play a crucial role in shaping our planet's long-term climate patterns. Discover how changes in Earth's orbit, axial tilt, and precession contribute to significant climate shifts over thousands of years, leading to the cyclical occurrence of Ice Ages and warmer interglacial periods. We'll examine the current phase of these cycles and discuss their implications for our understanding of past and future climate changes. Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the forces that have shaped Earth's climate history, this video offers a compelling and accessible insight into one of nature's most influential systems.

Excellent video, the narrator is highly competent and articulate as well.

"Your channel is something very very special. Top 3 on YouTube for this type of programming in my opinion. It boggles my mind almost as much as the information you provide in the shows, how you only have half a million subscriber’s. I feel like I’m getting in early on a community with the potential to reach 10 million subscribers or more. Just fantastic ground breaking work you’re doing here my friend. I’m honored to be a part of it. I will be making donations to the channel going forward. Thank you for what you’re doing from Canada.

🙏💫🇨🇦🍻"

34 deg F raise? I think someone's math is off a bit.

One question; if these Milankovitch cycli explain Earths climate dynamics, how can it be that only the last 2, 6 million years Earth experienced ice ages?
Where there also iceages during the dinosaur era for example?
If not, why not?
I have the idea we are not there yet with these ice-ages . . .

[SuzySuziko]

Ok if it becomes too cold besides the fact we got lots of time before the Ice Age, If we increase our carbon footprint then we can keep the Earth warm. Sounds good to me.

Brilliant and educational, thanks for the uploads.

Can you please make a detailed Tour of the Universe we know so far? Thanks 👍👏

08:34 ". . . Influencing non-adaptive spiecies, like humans . . ."
What?!
If there is one adaptive spiecies it are us, humans!

Longer take care the greens the sheld will be on active mode try more to grow greens if feels not safe at some places

As to how he did all that without a computer is beyond me.

In Serbian language, you have to read every letter as it is written - so, i is ALWAYS pronounced as ''ee'' (like: win, pin), not ''ai'' (five)! His name is Miiilenkovic, not mailenkovic - in Cyrillic it is very clear : МИЛЕНКОВИЋ. Also his first name has to be pronounced as Miilutin, not maailutin (meelutin meelenkovic). One sign for one son = genial writing system, too ! No double letter, no deformation of letters trough different readings - once a child learned all letters, can read, understand and write all words in Serbian language. The oldest calendar of the world, that shows Year 7532 in 2023 is Serbian calendar, forbidden by Vatican's ''diplomats''! It was used in our churches in Kosovo that is stolen by NATO/EU and given to Albanian muslims.

Makes me ask if (one day we have ) orbital colonies, they actually orbit close to the sun.

[ggbrb]

If the ice ages end slowly over thousands of years, why did wooly mammoths suddenly die out 12, 000 years ago practically overnight?

IS ALL RICHS GREED LIKE ALWAYS! EVERYBODY PAID!

[williamrbuchanan]

1000s they can change by that time, money will be dead and nothing to invest in

[btingey]

You did great till you went off the rails on current climate change…

[drjamesdriscoll]

Can you please stop spreading misinformation. In the first 45 seconds you incorrectly show an image of 'Snowball Earth' and then state the Earth will be a 'lifeless ice floe'. Completely rubbish. Ice ages do not result in Snowball Earth conditions (the last Snowball Earth event was ~550 million tears ago), and life flourishes during ice ages. Perhaps you need to educate yourself before posting such inane content? There are mistake slittered throughout - global tempeartures have not risen by 34 Fahrenheit since 1970!

[jcaustin]

Milankovitch cycles are just one factor that may contribute to climate change. Note: Earth’s current orbital positions within the Milankovitch cycles predicts our planet should be cooling, not warming.

[Encephalitisify]

We would be able to survive this period in earth’s natural climate by the time it got here due to our tech advances. However, we won’t survive the heating we our currently causing.

30 % of land mass was coverd during ice age so it's a bit of a myth when 70% wasn't
