It's also straightforward to convert a sinusoidal waveform (like one would expect from Milankovitch cycles) into a sawtooth waveform (approximately like we observe in the ice age temperature record) with a teeny bit of nonlinear feedback; throw in a little "sensitivity to initial conditions, nonperiodicity, broad spectrum, and complicated recurrence," and viola -

Theory and experiments both confirm that the output shows the properties of sensitivity to initial conditions, nonperiodicity, broad spectrum, and complicated recurrence, that characterize chaotic motion. "
