Milutin Milankovitch was a Serbian astronomer and geophysicist who noted cyclic orbital periods of earth coincided with ice ages. One of these is the 26,000 year precession cycle. There is also a 100,000 year cycle and a 400,000 year cycle. The interaction between these cycles alternately warms and cools the earth via orbital forcing. Right now perihelion occurs in January, making northern winters slightly warmer than usual. Earth should be in a slightly cooling phase right now, so the current climate change is considered most likely anthropogenic instead.
