Huybers (Quaternary Science Reviews, 26, 37) has proposed a simple model in which deglaciation is triggered
when the obliquity cycle is high, and when ice mass is sufficiently high.
I have claimed the Holocene ended in 1300ad, the start of the LIA sequence,
when obliquity fell past 23.5 deg.

Not exact matches
Vetoretti and Peltier (2004) found that glacial inceptions can be caused either by a strong
obliquity forcing or by a combination of eccentricity - precession forcing and low CO2 values, which is in line with results from Berger and Loutre (2001) who found that CO2 is important during times like the MIS - 11,
when the insolation variations are too small to drive glacial - interglacial cycles.
He doesn't understand glaciations, as he uses 65 ° N summer insolation,
when glaciations clearly respond to
obliquity, as we saw in the first article of the series.
It could only do so
when precession modulation and eccentricity also provided a coincident warming impulse; this happens about every 2 or 3
obliquity cycles.
We already observed that problem
when reviewing the Dansgaard - Oeschger cycle, where the oscillations depend on a set of conditions in sea - level, temperatures, and
obliquity, to become perceptible.
While the earth does not exit an Ice Age every 41k years according to the
obliquity cycle
when it achieves it's maximum angle of > 24 degrees, over the 10 recorded Ice Age events, EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL as
obliquity drops below 23.5 % an Ice Age STARTS.
As might occur, say,
when the Earth's orbit is maximally elliptical,
obliquity is minimal (less tilt, cooler summers) and the Northern Hemisphere's summer occurs
when the Earth is furthest from the sun.
