In ergodic theory a system of nonlinear differential equations that may have solutions which exhibit different statistical properties within different segments of a long time span in the presence of a completely constant environment is referred to as almost-intransitive. This note suggests that some of the paleoclimatic variability over time scales ranging from 10 to 1 billion years could be explained if the sun were almost-intransitive. The possibilities are considered that climate may have behaved in an almost-intransitive fashion over time scales with periods of about 10,000 years and that time scales of variability with periods of about 100 to 10,000 years could be achieved if the sun itself were almost-intransitive. It is concluded that the sun could be almost-intransitive over some time scales but that this need not be the sole cause of climatic variability over such time scales.
