Try overlaying something else on the cycle. Something sudden and unexpected. Message 23625563 Message 23322140 or a rapid, by geologic terms, release of sequestered CO2.

I'm simply assuming the cycles of warming and cooling will continue due to the Milankovich cycle. The earth's climate is remarkably complex. We don't know enough about it. I would certainly agree.. That's why I focus on counter-acting, to the greatest degree possible, the natural changes that might be occuring due to natural events, whether orbital cycles, increase solar activity, or whatever.. And I know that geo-engineering is very controversial. I fully admit we can't stop the planet from doing what it's going to do.. But with regard to the effects upon the ocean, I think we have the ability to take immediate, significant, and beneficial, action. I fully subscribe to the belief that nature if capable of inflicting more damage upon itself than anything mankind can achieve. But we attempt to mitigate the damage from the effects of nature's follies all the time.. Hawk
