I have no training in any of the sciences.However,I’ve read more than once that the earth’s orbit around the sun has inconsistencies (at least small ones).If that is,in fact,true it’s easy even for an amateur like myself to see how such fluctuations might effect earth temperatures.

“Where and how much solar radiation a planet gets is a key driver of climate”
Not true. Everyone knows it’s caused by manmade pollution.
Things warmed up because neanderthals were not smart enough to put emission controls in their vehicles.
And wooly mammoths could not fit in small, reasonably sized cattle carriers.
Remember, many scientists claimed that due to the fact most of Earth's continents were on the southern part of the planet 500 to 300 million years ago, Earth was actually encased in ice possibly as high as a mile thick! But volcanic activity and the shifting continents changed the ocean stream patterns, and that melted the ice to create our modern oceans.
There’s been a suggestion that the orbits of the gas giants — Jupiter, Saturn & Neptune — have an affect on sun-spot activity and the solar-cycles both long & short.
Oh yeah! This new science referencing “chaotic solar system” will just generate a lot of “yes buts” from the AGW crowd, who are ardent pseudo scientists.
Shhh!
Don’t tell the Religious Order of the Climatinites.
They get mighty angry when proved that they worship a false god.
Someone has evidence of the "spirograph" nature of elliptical, precessing orbits (although I would throw in Earth's satellite: the Moon as well as the planets).
No climate scientist to my knowledge properly included these data into the Anthropogenic Climate Change models.
Good name for an imaginary singer; Rock Strata, wearing a leopard skin toga.
A character in the Flintstones cartoons.
The gravitational and electromagnetic forces of each of the bodies in the solar system have some affect on all the others, even when only indirectly. The “arrangement” and behavior of the solar system, and any of its bodies, at any time, is a result of the dynamics of the entire system. That should never have been a mystery to modern earth scientists.
A short video (about 10 min):

Lots of information, but it also puts a lot in perspective.
I believe this 10 min. film would take a full semester in most high school physics classes.

Sounds like they may be geographically challenged.
“sedimentary rock in Colorado”
“Alternating layers of shale and limestone near Big Bend, Texas, characteristic of the rock laid down at the bottom of a shallow ocean during the late Cretaceous period.”
Well, Colorado, Texas. What difference does it make. They are both just flyover country.
Fantastic video! Thanks for posting the link.
My dad built satellite systems in his career and worked closely with the orbital mechanics guys. I was always amazed at the sophisticated math involved and how they precisely knew their launch windows a decade in advance. Talk about hard-stop dates for a project!
Though the article doesn’t make it clear, the rock formations would seem to be similar in age and stratification, both laid down beneath a shallow sea stretching through the middle of North America. If that was the case, you would expect both to show the same evidence changes in the earth’s orbit. One would also support the other.
