Carbon dioxide levels are linked to Milankovitch cycles in ice core data
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 82/100
Ice core data and paleoclimate modeling demonstrate that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are closely coupled with glacial cycles paced by Milankovitch orbital forcing.
