Adding to our knowledge on global warming, and a question

In summary, the conversation discusses the Earth's heating and cooling cycles, with one participant questioning if there are any reputable papers that contradict the idea of the Earth going through these cycles every 50-100 years. Another participant provides a link to a paper discussing more recent cycles, while a third participant shares information on a longer cycle. The conversation highlights the contentious nature of discussing climate change and the various theories and evidence surrounding it.

The Earth goes through several heating and cooling cycles but I believe they are all longer than that.

At any rate, this thread is almost certainly doomed since climate change is a contentious subject. The fact that there is climate change is undeniable, but discussion of it quickly devolves into discussions about mankind's contribution and that's where it gets contentious.

I want to add this to the literature base here on physics forums.

I'm curious: Are there any reputable papers that say contrary to this one? Or, is it a complete myth the earth goes through heating and cooling, every 50-100 years or so?

Thanks,

Jake
Here is something on the cycles more recent.
