The Earth wobbles about 4 degrees every 26,000 years or so. Parts of the Sahara desert were once under the ocean as were parts of Wyoming and Montana. Although we should all want a clean planet, not much we can do about that wobble.

Orbital forcing.
I believe that is the basis for the math used in the climate models to see natural variation and predict prehistoric conditions.

Not sure they can help me win this year's Ice Out contest.
