Atmospheric CO2 causes the end of ice ages.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

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.
