Many scientists are skeptical about that the emission of greenhouse gases is the primary factor in global climate change, and they believe natural driving is the main factor for global climate change, but they haven’t found such a convincing natural driving force yet. So the author has researched deeply into various natural forces that could affect climate change,and found that volcanism can obviously alter the orbit of the Earth and therefore is another key factor for climate change. This 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 transfer. 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. Hence, this research has solved the cause-problem of global warming as well as the cause-problem of the alternation of glacial and interglacial periods, and also found the corresponding strategies.
