Hi /sci/,
Anyone could explain or point me to a place where I could read about causes of the mid-pleistocene transition? (precisely, the cycle 41->100 change)
I'm in the middle of a conversation with a "AGW sceptic", and he's trying to refer to that event as a possible proof that the cloud forming due to deforestation may be a stronger cilmate changer than CO2 (??), that's why I'm asking.
Cheers!

The argument makes no sense since AGW is not over thousands of years. Saying so-and-so caused the MPT tells you literally nothing about what factors are strong in current warming over a hundred years.

For AGW yes, but one would hypothetise that it's relevant for GW in general and may heavily affect it now, during the existence of human civilisation.
