Space Density varies between celestial objects throughout our galaxy. It is estimated the heavy elements make up .03 percent, stars .5 percent, and free hydrogen and helium 4 percent of the matter in our universe. hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/DaWeiCai.shtmlwww.astro.ufl.edu/~peterb/research/champ/papers/gasdensities.pdfHow much does the space density between earth and our sun vary with time? When the space density is lower our planet should absorb more heat from our sun. Conversely, when the density is higher we should cool. For example: If we enter an extended period where there is much more or less hydrogen/helium gas would this be enough to quickly heat the earth or send us into an ice age?

Interesting thesis. Are there any data that would make it testable?

I don't know. What I do know is no one knows why MIS-11 LASTED 44,000 years. Has to be a reason, doesn't there?

In addition to space density here are some variables which may affect the temperature here on earth:
1. Mass changes (sun and earth)
2. Luminosity changes (Sun and Celestial objects)
3. Position Changes (Our position in the Milky Way and with reference to other galaxies affects the cloud cover on earth VIA cosmic rays)
4. Dark Energy (Mysterious force that causes everything outside a gravitationally bound galaxies to redshift)
5. Magnetic Field Changes
6. Orbital Variations (Milankovitch cycle)
7. Unknown Variables
How is CO2 the central temperature driver of our planet?
