Perhaps if we pay more taxes we can control the earth's orbit...maybe.

Ice ages aren't just ancient history — they're part of a natural cosmic rhythm. - Alan Turner 

New research has cracked the code on how Earth's orbit and axial tilt set off ice ages, revealing that our planet's tilt (obliquity) is the key player in starting these deep freezes.
Here’s how it works:
• When Earth’s tilt decreases, sunlight hits higher latitudes less intensely — perfect conditions for ice sheets to grow.
• The combo of precession (Earth’s wobble) and tilt also controls the shifts between icy periods and warmer interglacial times.
The wild part? 

Based on this cycle, the next ice age could start in about 11,000 years. ...
