Orbital tuning is a technology for adjusting the time scale of a geological or climate record to achieve maximum synchronization with the cycles of orbital motion (insolation) presented in astronomical climate theory. The procedure for coordinating climatic events with orbital insolation cycles seems natural due to the fact that solar radiation is the main source of energy for hydrometeorological, biochemical, soil biological and other processes that determine the state and dynamics of the natural system of the Earth. The climate is a generalized characteristic of the state of the natural system. A paradox was found in the change in insolation and temperature in the Holocene. Based on the analysis of the causes of the Holocene paradox, it is shown that the technologies of orbital adjustment relative to the calculations of insolation performed in the astronomical climate theory are premature. The main problem of orbital alignment is to accept the direct dependence of temperature on insolation and not take into account the influence of insolation-related heat transfer mechanisms on the Earthʼs temperature regime. It is shown that, with correct calculated insolation data, the climatic–stratigraphic scale of the astronomical theory of climate is not complete or objective without taking into account the temperature changes caused by the mechanisms of heat transfer.
