Abstract: The author's recent research on the origin and evolution of earth shows that with the growth of earth's mass, earth can absorb more and more gas molecules from the cosmic space, including water vapour and carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of the sun, and the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases have caused global warming. Additionally, the author has also discovered that volcanism can obviously alter the orbit of the earth and therefore is another key factor for climate change. The latter research mainly includes the derivation of a formula on volcanic eruption changing the earth's revolution speed and another formula on the earth's revolution speed variation causing the earth's orbital variation. According to these formulas, through computer's high precision computation, the author found that volcanic eruptions at a certain scale can indeed cause the earth's orbital variation, thus causing global warming or cooling, even making the earth enter an interglacial period or a glacial period.

Keywords: glacial period; interglacial period; greenhouse gasses; GHG emissions; volcanism; global climate change; climate change causes; gas molecules; outer space; water vapour; CO2; carbon dioxide; earth orbit; volcanic eruptions; earth revolution speed; orbital variation; earth cooling.
