Agreed. I'm a true believer in the Milankovitch cycles. I'm particularly interested in the cycle that occurs every 1,000 or so years (first graph below). I like that because we have written history of what life was like during these warming and cooling periods. (Warming = higher crop yields, more predictable rain patterns, less deaths by plague.)
I'd assert that, as we celebrate our country's 250th anniversary, perhaps we ought to further appreciate the fact that our country was founded during the horrible Little Ice Age. It was hard enough just to survive then, even more so to start a nation.
I’m a big Youtube viewer. There have been recent Milankovitch cycle videos that I ignored. I’ll check one aout to become at least partially enlightened.
Thanks for the great post.
If you examine the graph you provided below, it is possible to conclude that there was no spike in the recent interglacial peaks. It can be surmised that the temperature rise is already being diminished by an unknown driver of climate change.
