Longer term, tectonic plate movement makes a big difference in albedo [oceans absorbing lots of light and therefore heat and land masses, especially snowy ones, reflecting light]. Earth orbit makes a difference too. There is cosmic ray theory about cloud formation too. this is one of the most important factors in our climate situation. The current continental configuration where there are land masses that are stretched north to south from pole to pole and with one of the poles occupied by a large land mass, puts us into a glacial/interglacial climate model. We are at the tail end of an interglacial period and should savor any global warming we can get.
