Abstract
The background of the orbital theory of paleoclimate, the creation of which is not yet completed, is reviewed in the article below. Can this theory lay the foundation for the development of correct paleoclimatic models that would provide for an adequate idea about the operation of our planet’s climatic machine? The authors attempt to answer this question and outline the trend of its further improvement.
