changes in recent geological times. Their rise and fall are caused by slight
changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun due to the influence of the
other planets. But we do not know the exact relationship between the changes
in the Earth's orbit and the changes in climate. 

New research from the Niels Bohr Institute indicates that there can be
changes in the CO2 levels in the atmosphere that suddenly reach a critical
turning point and with that trigger the dramatic climate changes....
