Milankovitch cycles are a function of Earth's obliquity, eccentricity and precession based on a constant energy source, the Sun. Nice science but the Sun is not a constant energy source nor does Milankovitch support Global Warming or Cooling but rather Earths geometry relative to the sun affects different parts of the globe differently which I find interesting.

Now how all of that mitigates the fact that CO2 lags temperature in the ice cores is something I'm not clear on. Al Gore tells me that anthropogenic increases in CO2 levels are the cause of Global Warming yet the data does not support any such assertion, in fact it flies in the face of such an assertion.

Another question, how do Malinkovitch Cycles affect the surface area of the ocean acting as a CO2 source?

"Precession refers to a change in the direction of the axis of a rotating object. In physics, there are two types of precession, torque-free and torque-induced, the latter being discussed here in more detail. In certain contexts, "precession" may refer to the precession that the Earth experiences, the effects of this type of precession on astronomical observation, or to the precession of orbital objects."

Yes, clearly, I understand all that fully because I am a lawyer, and thus as Justice Kennedy has ruled, have clarity when it comes to the cosmos, and here I thought you had made a typo, and accidently replaced the "o" with an "e." :)
