How do Milankovitch's reasons for the ice ages differ from those of the modern carbon dioxide theory? There is essentially no difference in the reasons for the ice ages Milankovitch believes that the ice ages are due to increases in the earth's atmospheric CO2 and not decreases in summer radiation.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The carbon dioxide levels get decreased during the ice age and increase at the end of the ice age. The ice age depends on the carbon dioxide levels in the earth's atmosphere and the change in tilt axis, precession, and eccentricity of the earth.
