Earth 's tilt relative to the sun has governed the movements of giant ice sheets over the past 800,000 years .

The study found an "amazing correlation" between the tilt and ice sheet formation, lead author Stephen Barker said.

It does not take into account our greenhouse gas emissions, which are heating the planet, he said.

The point of this study is to build a picture of what the climate would do over the next 10,000 to 20,000 years without the impact of human activity, Barker said.

The goal is then to provide a long-term estimate of humanity’s impact on the planet.
