We now have a model for the millennial cycle which fits the shape of the curve in Rahmstorf's Timing Of Abrupt Climate Changes. With this new mental image of the moon creation dark matter comet, Figure 1 shows a perfect fit at D-O events 7,6 and 5 especially. As the moon's orbit moves towards the ecliptic, as seen from the northern hemisphere, it will experience a repulsive impulse from the dm comet. This will dramatically increase the tide raising forces on Earth, despite the moon moving further away in it's orbit. When the moon's orbit passes the repulsive zone it will momentarily experience normal gravitational attraction before passing through the attractive impulse phase below the Earth's equator. This will similarly dramatically increase tide raising forces, but at the same time bring the moon closer to the Earth, for a prolonged period of higher tides. This double peak can be seen before the spike of D-O 7,6 and 5. There's similarly a double peak on the slightly gentler cooling side of the warming events.
The moon is currently moving away from the Earth, which fits with a northern hemisphere lunar orbit. The moon would have risen through the repulsive impulse phase and moved further way from the Earth. When it returns on it's cycle it will move further way still before reaching the attraction zone of the southern hemisphere.
My apologies for not explaining this more clearly, but I wanted to get something done in writing straight away.Attachment #1: Millennial_Cycles.jpgAttachment #2: Lunar_Millennial_Cycle.jpg
