Like the Milankovitch cycles, sunspot cycles» effects are too weak and too frequent to explain the start and end of ice ages but very probably help to explain temperature variations within them.

It is very unlikely that the Milankovitch cycles can start or end an ice age (series of glacial periods):

That's the change in the rate of change — very little change for many tens of thousands of years, then rapid change in the ecology as the climate changed naturally since the end of the last ice age.

It is interesting that the WSJ published a paper in 1933 which showed that temperatures had been rising for 100 years tells me that this overall temperature increase has been going on for a very long time (probably since 1725 and the end of the little ice age).

Gary, I first became suspicious when introduced to these warmist backradiation ideas — my very first problem with it was seeing the claimed «rise in industrial CO2 driving temperatures» linked to a temperature rise from, and described as the Earth's norm, the end of the Little Ice Age and realising the great outpouring from industry didn't begin until the middle of the last century, maybe you're too young to remember the few cars being driven on practically empty motorways in rush hour..

I believe that our presence here, on earth, in the numbers that we have managed to achieve, coupled with the fact that we have destroyed millions upon millions of oxygen producers (Trees) and have a penchant for asphalt and tarmac, which are very heat absorbing, and purposely keep reflective surfaces to a minimum (they're blinding) AND have created a civilization based on burning fossil fuels and using other things which are detrimental to our ecology, that, yes, we are probably responsible in large for the exelerated melting of the global ice... but, we have been in a state of warming since the last ice age ended... we just speeded up the process.

There is some evidence, as yet uninvestigated to the best of my knowledge that the end of the ice age may have drowned some very early cities — there are some very interesting and very unnatural looking structures off the west coast of India on the continental shelf at about the right depth to have been coastal during the ice age and I believe others have been noted elsewhere.
