Is it true that atmospheric CO2 causes the end of ice ages?
Partly. One encyclopedia entry says CO2 changes influenced ice ages, and a dataset title says a rapid CO2 rise marked the end of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age. Other reference works argue CO2 is more likely an effect than a cause and attribute ice ages to orbital sunlight changes, so the sources only partially address whether CO2 causes the end of ice ages.
