The precession of Earth's apses (as part of orbital forcing/Milankovitch cycles) significantly impacts long-term climate patterns, glaciation, and paleoclimate records.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust paleoclimatic and theoretical support establishing that orbital forcing parameters, including Earth's precession, heavily influence long-term climate cycles, regional precipitation, and glacial terminations.
