I’ve been looking at some recent studies on the Earth's natural climate cycles, like the Milankovitch cycles, and how they interact with human-induced factors. The long-term cooling trend over the past few thousand years seems to align with orbital forcing patterns, but the recent acceleration in warming—especially since the mid-20th century—is way beyond what natural cycles alone could explain. It’s like the Earth’s thermostat is being overridden by something new.
