Milankovitch cycles are orbital cycles affecting earth's insolation. There have been a long series of ice ages closely tied to these orbital cycles, and in fact earth should even now be ever so slightly and gradually cooling towards another ice age which should begin in about 50,000 years. Not particularly soon.
The fact earth continues warming at a rapid rate suggests significant environmental impact from some outside source.

How does the earth's orbit affect global warming?
Not at all. Milankovitch Cycles are tied to episodic ice ages or glacial epochs. Currently earth should be entering a very gradual cooling period, instead of heating up, according to orbitally derived solar insolation.
What process is the least likely to affect a regions climate?
Global Warming
How does global warming affect word climate?
IT gets as wet as your mum
How does gas affect us?
Greenhouse gas is adding to global warming and climate change.
How does the enhanced greenhouse effect affect the earth's climate?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming. Global warming is producing climate change, serious changes in the climate of the earth. See the related question below.
Why don't global warming experts reference the Milankovitch cycles?
Because Milankovitch cycles cannot explain climate variability over the time scale that we're interested in predicting climate. Milankovitch cycles can explain large variations in climate over very long time scales, scales of thousands of years. Milankovitch cycles do not explain variability in climate on the scales of hundreds or tens of years. Variability at smaller time scales is driven by other factors, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas concentrations.

Is global warming or the sun's cycle or the milankovitch theory or the asteroid impact considered an effect on climate change?
Scientists conclude that the main factor in climate change is the present global warming from the burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
How does a change in how the earth spins on it's axis affect the global climate?
If the Earth goes closer to the Sun the Earth will heat up more causing global warming to get worse. If the tilt increases the hemispheres will get more extreme weather. If the Earth spins faster, the day and night cycles will be shorter (no one has theorized what this would do to the climate as it won't happen).
How might changes in solar energy affect earth's climate?
global warming
How does gas affect us?

How does the enhanced greenhouse effect affect the earth's climate?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming. Global warming is producing climate change, serious changes in the climate of the earth. See the related question below.
What does global warming tell us about the earth?
It tells us the climate is not a static condition, but has cycles of warming and cooling, drought and excess precipitation.
