Understanding what caused the shift in periodicity, known as the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT), is one of the great challenges of palaeoclimate science.

It's called the Sun.

Beats me. Why would glacial periods suddenly triple what can be explained by the tilt cycles? Aliens? I don’t know.

It sounds like CO2 is not the boogeyman.

For all their instruments and measurements and PhDs these clowns don’t have a clue. Yet we are bombarded with authoritarian statements claiming all sorts of dire consequences if we don’t give total power to technologists amd their cohorts, the bureaucrats.

It’s the second biggest scam of the Century, just behind the shrinks and their DSM bogus BS.

One can realize what a worthless crock of psychobabble that whole dissertation is if one remembers that Earth itself is only between 6,000 and 10,000 years old.

It would be a bummer if we reduced CO2, and then discovered that we were overdue for our next glacial period, and the CO2 levels had been the only thing holding it off...

So it was a 40,000 year cycle till 1M years ago when the cycles got longer.

Either the Sun changed it’s behavior or the Earth’s orientation changed very slightly.

I’m going to hypothesize (that’s scientific for guessing based on an idea) since it was so abrupt that the Earth got it’s noggin’ popped by a fairly large something or other just enough to change the cycle.
