[Rockhounds] New research finds Late Pleistocene glaciations terminated by Earth's axis tilt rather than orbital eccentricity

[Dora Smith]

 I've seen reasons to think any number of things could have driven the ice ages. Depending on what you look at any of them appear responsible at any given moment in time. I have a hard time with the notion that earth's wobble or orbit drives chagnes as intense as ice ages. I thought the most important of them was the configuration of the continents, changing the circulation of oceans and air and weather. 

Yours,
Dora Smith
