The precession of Earth's apses significantly affects long-term climate patterns
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 85/100
The precession of Earth's apses (as part of orbital forcing/Milankovitch cycles) significantly impacts long-term climate patterns, glaciation, and paleoclimate records.
