Public release date: 29-Apr-2010

EXCERPT:

The poles control much of our global climate. Giant ice sheets in Antarctica behave like mirrors, reflecting the sun's energy and moderating the world's temperatures. The waxing and waning of these ice sheets contribute to changes in sea level and affect ocean circulation, which regulates our climate by transporting heat around the planet.

Despite their present-day cold temperatures, the poles were not always covered with ice. New climate records recovered from Antarctica during the recent Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) "Wilkes Land Glacial History" Expedition show that approximately 53 million years ago, Antarctica was a warm, sub-tropical environment. During this same period, known as the "greenhouse" or "hothouse" world, atmospheric CO2 levels exceeded those of today by ten times.

EXCERPT:

Dial back the clock nearly 4 billion years, to a time called the Archean, and the sun would appear about 30% dimmer than it is now. That's a problem: It couldn't have warmed Earth enough to keep the seas from becoming permanent ice sheets. Yet overwhelming geological evidence indicates that liquid water has existed on our planet since the seas formed more than 4 billion years ago, even during the deepest ice ages. What could have provided the added warmth?

EXCERPT:

About 1.8 million years ago, the warm climate of the Cenozoic Era cooled sufficiently for large continental glaciers to begin to accumulate in far northern latitudes. As the ice built to a great thickness, it began to slowly flow outward and into the northern United States, including about two-thirds of Ohio. Thus began the Pleistocene Ice Age, which profoundly changed Ohio’s landscape to the benefit of our society and left the first record of geologic events in Ohio since more than 290 million years ago.

Ice ages are complex events that are poorly understood and may be initiated by variations in the output of the sun, perturbations in the earth’s orbit and revolution, continental configurations, and ocean circulation. A long ice age has many intervals of glacial advance and retreat with warmer interglaciations between the glacial advances. The classic interpretation of these advances and retreats in the Midwest is four major glacial advances named after states in which their deposits are prominent. They are, from oldest to youngest: Nebraskan, Kansan, Illinoian, and Wisconsinan. Geologists now recognize that the Pleistocene was more complex than implied by this four-fold division. In Ohio, the earlier glaciations, before the Illinoian, are lumped as “pre-Illinoian.” These deposits are known in Ohio from deeply weathered sediments exposed in a small area in Hamilton County, near Cincinnati.

EXCERPT:

Back in the 1970s before people were screaming about global warming, scientists were warning us that the next ice age may be just around the corner. The big freeze scare was eventually pushed aside by the great man-made global warming hoax. Now a new study has been released that global warming may be just the Earth's warning that a new Ice Age is near.

In the Earth's history thus far, there have been periods where glaciers covered much of Europe, each lasting about 100,000 years. These are separated by warmer interglacial periods lasting around 10,000 years. We are currently at the end of an interglacial era called the Holocene.

The Next Ice Age May have been Triggered in 2008

Excerpt,
" But global warming is not about temperature, it's about precipitation.
When oceans heat up, they cause more water to evaporate from them and into the air,
which gets carried around the globe and precipitates everywhere.
Snow has been accumulating over 90% of Antarctica due to the increase in precipitation,
which has totally stopped the rise in ocean levels. This is not good news.
The oceans have been rising for the past 10,000 years since the last ice age.
The end of that era means hard times for humans. "

Given most ice ages seem to start very abruptly...

Excerpt,
" 5. In today's time, as heat comes up from the earth's core,
it must now pass through hundreds of miles of hard, rocky material.
Passing through the hard material results in a very constant rate of heat flow.
As the geothermal heat enters the oceans, it accumulates and creates a water clock.
The oceans heating at a constant rate causes ice ages to occur at extremely precise intervals.
When the oceans get hot enough to put enough water vapor into the air, another cool-down is triggered in a precipitous manner.
The past ten ice ages have been occurring at exactly 100,000 year intervals.

6. The usual explanation for the precise interval of ice ages is the Milankovich cycles.
This means that variations in the earth's orbit have some repeating cycles to them.
A lot of scientists do not accept that explanation, because the yearly average exposure to the sun stays unchanged.
So rationalizers will say the orbital motion of the earth becomes asymmetrical due to influences from Jupiter and Saturn.
But those patterns only last a few months, which is not enough to explain ice ages.
Apart from the Milankovich cycles, scientists do not have an explanation for the precise cycling of ice ages.
The water clock caused by geothermal heat does explain the precise cycling of ice ages.
The reason why the cycles have been occurring in their present form for only one million years would be that
shifting tectonic plates change geology in such a way as to alter ocean currents and the way the water clock works.
It appears that Pacific ocean water flowing over the Bering Strait and melting Arctic ice is
a critical part of ice age cycles, which means ocean currents are critical. "]]> Whilst looking around regarding absorbtion, emission, radiation, etc, etc, etc,.

EXCERPT:

A new study that reports precise ages for glacial moraines in southern Peru links climate swings in the tropics to those of Europe and North America during the Little Ice Age approximately 150 to 350 years ago. The study, published this week in the journal Science, "brings us one step closer to understanding global-scale patterns of glacier activity and climate during the Little Ice Age," says lead author Joe Licciardi, associate professor of Earth sciences at the University of New Hampshire.

EXCERPT:

February 15 , 2005 — It was only a few hundred years ago that the earth experienced its last ice age. Global temperatures started falling during the 1300s and hit their lowest points in the late 1700s and early 1800s. New Yorkers could walk from Manhattan to Staten Island across a frozen harbor, while Londoners held "Frost Fairs" on a solid Thames River. Glaciers advanced in China, New Zealand, and Peru, and snow covered Ethiopian peaks. Diseases, aided by the change in climate, spread quickly throughout Europe and Asia. Iced waters delayed shipping from ports, growing glaciers engulfed farms and villages, tree lines receded, and agriculture deteriorated, leading to centuries of poor harvests, famine, and social unrest. Though the average global temperature dropped only one to two degrees Celsius below what they are today, the cold spell nevertheless drastically affected life at this time.
