An Update To The Milankovitch Cycles

My second post (The Milankovitch Cycles) was recently linked to another blog post. This post, which is a bit more ‘sciencey’ than mine, gives a new approach to the Milankovitch Cycles. It states that the variation in energy on the Earth’s surface because of these cycles is not enough to explain the amount of global temperature variation. It then explains that a recent publication by Abe-Ouchi, A. et  al. (2013) can explain these discrepancies using a climate model. Results show that ice-sheets formed on the Canadian Shield are key to the variation in the Earth’s climate. To read the blog post in full please click the link below:
