... Climate change has occurred throughout the Earth's history. Changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt are thought to have led to the Ice Age around 21,000 years ago. Between 900 and 1300 AD, the planet was relatively warm. Cooling of the Sun led to a "little ice age" in the 1400s to 1800s, where global ...
