Astronomical Theory Offers New Explanation For Ice Age - Article about research suggesting that cyclical changes in the location of the Earth's orbit causing differing amounts of extraterrestrial debris to come into the atmosphere, and not the Milankovitch theory, explain cycles of glaciation in the last millio - http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/ice-age-sediments.html
