You are describing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles Milankovitch Cycles.

In fact, the effects of CO2 are much, much harder to model accurately, which is why they are so much more contraversial. Which is another way of saying, they are making it up and have no idea what they are talking about.

Thanks so much. I just marvel at these scientists who
can interpret all these movements which have periods
of many thousands of years yet they may be limited to
say 40 years of productive research. Incredulity is an
understatement. Did Milanovich consider sunspots?
Some of these motions were known to early Greeks, I
have read.

Here’s a question for you. Many eons ago before
mammmals, the earth must have been covered in
forests, swamps, all kinds of plants as well as the
oceans with its share of plant life, sea weed etc.
That must have required massive amounts of CO2. Right?
I guess that amount of CO2 could be approximated,
could it not? How would that quantity compare with the current amount? Don’t all these volcanos dump massive amounts of CO2?

I’ll take your word that studying CO2 is almost
intractable. But these warming zealots use tons of CO2
as a first order effect. They use this as a statistic
to correlate with temperature, don’t they? BTW, hasn’t
the WH proclaimed that CO2 is a pollutant?

With your knowledge of this subject, you must work in
this area. If not, then, you probably solve string
theory problems. Thanks again.
