The climate system is in perpetual evolution as it responds to a range of forcing factors. It is possible to distinguish between external and internal forcings of the system. External forcings are essentially linked to changes in the orbital parameters of the Earth that control the intensity and location of incident solar radiation, and fluctuations in solar energy.
