So the way I understand this is cyclical cosmic tidal forces (gravitational forces from local and distant bodies) influence earthen geology enough to cause tectonic movements, magma to rise from the earths core and warm the planet via volcanic carbon eruptions. Interesting.

The heat that warmed the planet wasn't from the core. The heat was from the sun being trapped under that co2.

I think he meant that the eruptions filled the atmosphere with CO2. THEN the heat trapped under it warmed the planet. Context matters.
