What Lisiecki has done is link the climate information found within these sediment cores and correlated it with a history of Earth\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n<p>A generally acknowledged scientific fact is that Earth\u2019s orbit around the sun changes every 100,000 years, becoming either more round or more elliptical.<\/p>\n<p>According to her study, Lisiecki has found that glaciation also occurs every 100,000 years, and that the timing of changes in climate and eccentricity coincided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clear correlation between the timing of the change in orbit and the change in the Earth&#8217;s climate is strong evidence of a link between the two,&#8221; said Lisiecki. &#8220;It is unlikely that these events would not be related to one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, Lisiecki discovered that the largest glacial cycles occurred during the <em>weakest<\/em> changes in the eccentricity of Earth\u2019s orbit, and vice versa. In other words, the stronger the shift in our planet\u2019s orbit, the weaker the shift in our planet\u2019s climate. According to Lisiecki, \u201cthis may mean that the Earth&#8217;s climate has internal instability in addition to sensitivity to changes in the orbit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2010-04\/uoc--ugd040610.php\" > the press release from<\/a> the University of California \u2013 Santa Barbara, Lisiecki concludes that climate changes over the past million years probably involves a complex interaction between various aspects of our planet\u2019s climate system working in conjunction with three different orbital systems; eccentricity, tilt and precession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a new study the regular shift in Earth\u2019s orbit may have a direct linkage to a change in the climate.
