The Milankovitch Cycles -- a review of the influences of the Earth's orbital characteristics and their influence on climate change. And, of course it contains a rebuttal by NASA.

NASA's not disputing Milankovitch; they're elaborating very nicely.  The last-three paragraphs indicate that he was right.

Milankovitch’s work was supported by other researchers of his time, and he authored numerous publications on his hypothesis. But it wasn’t until about 10 years after his death in 1958 that the global science community began to take serious notice of his theory. In 1976, a study in the journal Science by Hays et al. using deep-sea sediment cores found that Milankovitch cycles correspond with periods of major climate change over the past 450,000 years, with Ice Ages occurring when Earth was undergoing different stages of orbital variation.

Several other projects and studies have also upheld the validity of Milankovitch’s work, including research using data from ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica that has provided strong evidence of Milankovitch cycles going back many hundreds of thousands of years. In addition, his work has been embraced by the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

Scientific research to better understand the mechanisms that cause changes in Earth’s rotation and how specifically Milankovitch cycles combine to affect climate is ongoing. But the theory that they drive the timing of glacial-interglacial cycles is well accepted.

All I know (and it's well-established fact) is that here in southern Ontario we were covered by a glacier (two-miles thick?) about 12,000 years ago, and that a thousand years later, the glacier receded up to where Algonquin Prov. Park is now located. I can't image that Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble had anything to do with that. :-)

 

I guess that would have to be judged on how much carbon (co2) Fred and Barney were emitting as they pedalled those stone wheeled carts they were depicted as having. :-)) They were probably burning wood to cook their dinosaur legs so that was not a problem because it's a renewable? You can grow a new one in 30 or 40 years as we will do for our "new" paper grocery bags -- imported from China after being manufactured by Canadian raw logs. It's all under control. :-))
