Abstract. Glacial cycles are primarily attributed to Earth's evolving orbital parameters, which change the amount of insolation received by high latitudes in summer. Another significant aspect is how much this solar energy retained. Recent research (Ganopolski et al., 2016) has shown a connection between maximum summer at 65∘ N and CO2 concentration needed for glacial inception. As available fo...
