The researchers speculate that the glacier period has become longer in the last million years because... More speculation... one heck of a job if you can get it. Make up stuff and get paid.

In the past million years, the Earth experienced a major ice age about every 100,000 years. Scientists have several theories to explain this glacial cycle, but new research suggests the primary driving force is all in how the planet leans. Are they talking about Ice Ages or the cycles of glaciation within an Ice Age? IIRC we are now in an Ice Age but the glaciers have retreated for moment.

This is all junk science hogwash.
Anybody with half a brain knows that it's Bush's fault.
Ever hear of Kyoto?

"Earth’s axis is currently pointing at the North Star, Polaris, but it is always rotating around in a conical pattern. In about 10,000 years, it will point toward the star Vega, which will mean that winter in the Northern Hemisphere will begin in June instead of January."
That's quite a statement, and what happens in the intermediary time when the seasons are shifting?

Maybe if we could get Michael Moore to move to South America, it would straighten the earth back up again?

A careful analysis of natural earth cycles suggesting that we're going into a new ice age and then ends with this:
"What we have here is a great laboratory for seeing how climate changes naturally," he said. "But this is a 100,000-year cycle, whereas global warming is happening a thousand times faster.”
These guys just don't seem to realize that they are destroying their credibility on serious, important science.

Seems this fact of earth's geological history is an inconvenient reality for the Kyoto mad lefties.

OK, then, I'll buy the bridge that goes from manhattan to brooklyn.

Everyone knows that Karl Rove controls the weather machine!

Hence the title "Earth In The Balance."
