The Earth's climate has naturally cycled through warm and cold periods for millions of years, including ice ages and interglacial periods. We are currently in an interglacial period, experiencing warmer temperatures, which has caused a recession of ice sheets and glaciers. However, the current warming trend, particularly since the mid-20th century, is happening at an accelerated rate and is largely driven by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which is unlike any previous natural climate shifts, according to the NRDC and the MIT Climate Portal.
Natural Climate Cycles:
- Ice Ages (Glacial Periods): These are periods of colder temperatures with widespread ice coverage.
Earth has experienced five major ice ages in its history: the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Karoo, and Quaternary. These are periods of long-term cooling when ice sheets and glaciers cover large portions of the planet's surface. 
- Cooling Centers: People taking refuge in designated cooling centers during extreme heat events.
While the natural cycle of ice ages occurs over tens of thousands of years, with the last one ending about 11,700 years ago, human-caused climate change is currently delaying the onset of the next one, according to scientists.
The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB), roughly 12,800 years ago, marks the end of the last cold snap during the transition from the last ice age to the current interglacial period. It's characterized by a relatively short but intense period of cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, interrupting a broader warming trend. The YDB is significant because of its potential link to a major extraterrestrial impact and its influence on both climate and prehistoric human societies. Proponents have reported materials including nanodiamonds, metallic microspherules, carbon spherules, magnetic spherules, iridium, platinum, platinum/palladium ratios, charcoal, soot, and fullerenes enriched with helium-3 that they interpret as evidence for an impact event that marks the beginning of the Younger Dryas. One of the most widely publicized discoveries (nanodiamonds in Greenland) has never been verified and is disputed Graham Hancock argued in his 2015 book Magicians of the Gods that the Younger Dryas comet destroyed the earth in a time cycle and that it was responsible for the Noahide flood myth. He inferred that this myth was widespread elsewhere on earth by comparing it with the flood mythology of other peoples. These claims were criticized as inaccurate by independent reviewers, including Jason Colavito, Michael Shermer, and Marc J. Defant. Hancock expanded on his claims in a subsequent book, America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization (2019), in which he claimed that the Younger Dryas catastrophe had wiped out all traces of a sophisticated Ice Age civilization in North America. This is all very speculative, without any proof at all. When the Jewish calendar shows the year 6000, the Gregorian calendar will correspond to approximately 2239-2240 CE. 
The year 10,000 BCE is a year talking about a great deal, with a movie by the same
name. In 10,000 BC, a hunter-gatherer tribe called the Yagahl live in the Ural Mountains. They survived by hunting woolly mammoths, but as the migrations grow more scarce, uncertainty as to their future mounts. This calendar date happened 12,000 some years ago on the Gregorian calendar. Approximately 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, many iconic megafauna species disappeared, including the woolly mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros, and the giant ground sloth. Other animals like the saber-toothed cat and the dire wolf also went extinct around this time. However, some animals like the modern bison and the ancestors of the giant panda still roamed the Earth.
On its own, Earth would likely be heading into a glacial period within the next 10,000 years. However, the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions is significantly altering the climate trajectory, potentially delaying the next ice age by a much longer period, potentially over 100,000 years.
- Interglacial Periods: These are warmer periods between ice ages.
- The last ice age, the Wisconsin glaciation, ended about 11,700 years ago. Since then, Earth has been in an interglacial period, a warmer phase within the larger ice age cycle.
- Causes of Natural Cycles: These cycles are primarily driven
- by variations in Earth's orbit and the amount of solar energy
- received, according to a video from YouTube.
No, the Earth is not going around the Sun at the exact same speeds as it did in 10,000 BCE. While the Earth's orbit is relatively stable over shorter periods, it does undergo subtle changes over long timescales.
Here's a summary of the factors influencing Earth's orbital speed and how they have caused it to change:
1. Sun's Mass Loss:
- The Sun continuously loses mass through nuclear fusion and the solar wind.
- This gradual loss of mass reduces the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth.
- As the gravitational force weakens, Earth's orbit slowly expands, and its orbital speed decreases slightly over time.
- Over the history of the Solar System (4.5 billion years), Earth is estimated to have moved about 50,000 km farther from the Sun and its orbital speed is about 10 meters per second slower than it was in the past.
The Current Warming Trend:
- The current warming is happening at a much faster rate than natural cycles can account for, primarily due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
- Burning fossil fuels and deforestation release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing global warming, according to the United Nations.
- The current warming trend is happening at an unprecedented rate, with global temperatures rising significantly since the mid-20th century.
- This rapid warming is causing observable changes like rising sea levels, melting glaciers and ice sheets, and shifts in weather patterns.
Earth's population has changed from 2 (Adam and Eve) to
8.2 billion of 5, 785 years to date on the Jewish Calendar.
The Gregorian calendar is now 2025.
What will happen by the year 6,000? That's only 215 years from now.
The USA will celebrate their 250th birthday next year. The
question asked on Smerconish CNN is will it make it to another
250 years-Climate and Politics deciding? I ask what the temp.
might be by the year 6,000 if not changing this warming trend?
When the Jewish calendar shows the year 6000, the Gregorian calendar will correspond to approximately 2239-2240 CE.

While the Old Testament prophets don't directly discuss "climate change" as we understand it today, they do speak of environmental disruptions and natural disasters as signs of God's judgment and as part of the unfolding of his plan. These descriptions often involve extreme weather, famines, and ecological devastation, which are sometimes interpreted in light of modern climate change concerns.
- God places humans in the Garden of Eden to serve and protect it, suggesting a role of stewardship over the environment.
"Tikkun olam" is a Hebrew phrase meaning "repairing the world" and is a concept in Judaism that emphasizes taking action to improve the world and make it a better place. It has evolved over time, encompassing various forms of social action and justice, from enacting laws to addressing social ills. In modern usage, it often refers to social activism and efforts to create a more just and equitable world.
Earth Day was on April 22nd, 2025, often focuses on how we can literally practice caring for the earth through environmental efforts. But, as one blogger said it best: “When we consider Earth Day through the lens of tikkun olam, we begin to notice that Earth Day is also about how we support and take care of each other.” However, we can't do much good while
drowning in water or roasting in a desert. First, take care of the land
and the land will take care of you in return.
- Activists and Communities: A wide range of actions were taken, such as distributing climate action fliers, promoting recyclable materials, taking part in cleanups, organizing teach-ins, building community gardens, advocating for local land trusts, and more.
- Capgemini, Thales, and Sweep collaborated on a strategic partnership to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across Thales's supply chains.
- In summary, Earth Day 2025 saw a wide array of efforts from individuals, businesses, organizations, and governments aimed at promoting climate action, although there were also contrasting policy decisions and ongoing debates about the most effective approaches. There was a lot of talk, education, but no
- action.
