Abstract

Our journal (2011, Vol. 81, No. 4) published the article “Lessons of the Development of the Orbital Theory of the Paleoclimate” by V.A. Bol’shakov and A.P. Kapitsa. The topic discussed in it is being debated heatedly by specialists, one of whom decided to comment on the article and give reasons for the astronomical theory of the paleoclimate.
