Earth’s climate system responds to small changes in the orbit of the sun and its rotation. Small variations in the Earth’s rotation and latitudinal solar energy distribution initiated ice-age cycles, which triggered changes in CO2 concentrations. During warm periods, the ice sheets melted and reflected less sunlight to space, releasing major greenhouse gases into the […]
