Earth ' s tilt influences climate change

Paleoclimatologists have shed new light on how the tilt of the Earth affects the world's heaviest rainbelt. They analyzed data from the past 282kyears that shows, for the first time, a connection between the Earth's tilt called obliquity that shifts every 41 kyears, and the movement of a low pressure band of clouds that is the Earth's largest source of heat and moisture -the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.
