There are naturally occurring variations that affect climate and the cycles are different:

  1. The Eccentricity Cycle (Elliptical Cycle) - This occurs about every 100,000 years and is the longer cycle. It causes the earth to cool.

  2. The Obliquity Cycle (Axial Tilt) - 41,000 years. Increased obliquity can cause summers to be warmer and winters to be colder.

  3. The Precession Cycle (Wobble) - This cycle occurs every 26,000 years and can cause seasonal changes.

No, scattering has nothing to do with keeping the earth warm. Scattering refers to the way rays of light, or radiation or other particles have to change direction, often when they bump into something.


How can global warming cause flooding?

Global warming can cause flooding because climate change is melting glaciers and ice caps. This is raising sea-levels and low-lying Pacific Island countries and other coastal areas will be in danger of flooding. Climate change is also changing the climate, meaning there may be more severe storms, more often, high tide surges, and more monsoon rains in some places, less in others.
