    i agree with this sentence
    "they can't account for changes being made by humans, which appear to have an even greater effect than variations in earth-sun interaction. "

    1st of all I read it & I can't believe he did all that work for so long without a calculator/computer. 2nd of all it's interesting to know that the orbit changes like that, I never knew. 3rd of all I think we had a small ice age this winter when we got all that snow :)
