Climate change due to changes in the Earth’s orbit? NASA has never defended this theory

The article in question is based on infographics taken from a publication of the US Space Agency and dating back to the year 2000. The documents are supposed to prove that differences in the Earth’s orbit are causing the observed global warming on our planet. The elements that validate the so-called Milankovitch theorem defend these arguments.

Milankovitch’s theory is only partially correct.And the AFP Sean Lovejoy, Professor of Physics at McGill University, Canada. “But the changes in Earth’s orbit are quite microscopic over a scale of a few thousand years. In about 100,000 years, this could lead to a temperature change of 2°C. Currently, we are experiencing a change of 1°C in 100 years, which is 500 times faster.”he adds.

Contrary to what was stated in the aforementioned article, NASA has not denied the human impact on climate change, including through now-extracted archival documents. on his site, Agency on the contrary is very clear : “We know that subtle changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun are responsible for the coming and going of ice ages.”She slips. “But the warming we’ve seen in recent decades is too rapid to be linked to changes in Earth’s orbit, and too large to be caused by solar activity.”
