4. Climate Change Drivers II: Cosmic Rays, Earth's orbit and Bolide Impacts

Did you know that the Earth's orbit around the our Sun and changes in our planet's tilt range create cycles of climate change? This episode we will delve into the Milanovitch cycles, and other extra-terrestrial factors that can affect our climate over time. The episode will include how solar flares and cosmic rays can alter our climate over short and long term, and the how the Earth repells the deadliest of these.
