What is apparent during the last 10000 year period of warming is that there have been changes in the earths orientation and average distance to the sun which must greatly effect the total heat content a particular area of the earth gets from the sun over a year, a decade, a century, and over millennia.

Yes. Solar energy received by earth varies to distance squared. Closer to sun also means higher solar wind and less cosmic radiation, which in turn results in less cloud formation.
