All I found was ,Variations in the energy output of the sun, volcanic eruptions filling the atmosphere with reflectors (particles and gas aerosols),
Changes in the circulation of seawater - Arctic/Atlantic ocean interplay; formation of Panama, and sliding of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Anything else...?
Tectonic Plate movement can also be cited - some previous supercontinents were located much farther north, encouraging the formation of vast ice sheets.

I downloaded it today, and I will be the first to admit I was highly amused with it probably for the wrong reasons :P .
