I wonder if this theory holds up when looked at with the newer understandings of greenhouse gasses
the dinosaurs lived long before the ice ages and there was significant carbon sequestration being done at that time and beyond. Certainly there were periodic small ice ages when the sun was blocked by volcanic eruptions, but nothing like the major ice ages which the theory seems to think were caused by orbit variations for the last 2.4 million years.
Now that we have restored much of that carbon in the atmosphere by burning all the sequestered carbon from fossil fuels–is it possible we will have put a greenhouse over the planet to hold in the heat during the coming orbits that will take us into the cold?
