The glaciological community has for decades harbored the widespread belief that the thermal evolution of the ice sheet, and the effect of this evolution on ice flow, are central in the ice-age cycling (not all communities agree, but there is plenty of literature on this from the land-ice crowd), so use of a temperature-independent rheology for the ice leaves out one favored explanation for termination of extensive glaciation.
