Reality: Whilst there are many areas of interesting research with respect to the
glacial - interglacial
cycles of the
Quaternary, we have a good understanding of the primary drivers i.e. orbital variations occurring over
cycles of tens of thousands of years.
The orbital
cycles are, as mentioned above, recognised to be of importance in the
glacial - interglacial
cycles of the
Quaternary.
In the case of
glacials (note — not ice ages to distinguish the
quaternary cycles from other periods) signals perhaps from orbital eccentricities triggering runaway snow and ice feedbacks.
Anthropogenic warming has interrupted the
Glacial - Interglacial
cycle of the
Quaternary (Ganopolski et al., 2016; Haqq - Misra, 2014) and there will be no coming Ice - Age n - 1000 years from now to reseal all of this volatile Carbon, as happened at the end of each previous interglacial.
