Understanding Natural Climate Cycles | Decoding the Weather Machine

Learn how variations in Earth’s tilt and orbit create a predictable cycle of natural climate changes and consider how human emissions of carbon dioxide affect global climate in this video from NOVA. Use this resource to model Milanković cycles and to provide opportunities for students to make a claim about the influence of humans on Earth’s natural climate cycles.
