We are currently in an interglacial period within an ongoing ice age that started 34 million years ago. The climate fluctuates between cold glaciation and warm interglacial periods, driven by the sun's heat. The distance from the sun determines the temperature, not trace gases. No legislation can alter the Earth's orbit, which will eventually lead us into another cool period. These climate cycles occur every few hundred million, hundred thousand, and few thousand years, influenced by factors such as continental movements, cosmic rays, orbital changes, solar activity, tides, and oceanic patterns. The combination of these cycles can bring about rapid climate changes.
