- Study: 'Warm ice age' changed climate cycles [05/16/2023]

Not our fault.......................
earth is moving around a sun that fluctuates in intensity and heat... the sun moves around a universe that i am sure has differences in temperatures, and we blame the smallest insignificant element of all—man.
That’s nice and all, but the great scientist Sandy Cortez has assured us that astronomical forces can be overcome with taxes and politics.
People are slowly beginning to see this ‘Climate Change’ for the scam that it is.................
Agreed. But I read this as the left’s way to attempt to silence those of us who say to quit bleating about global warming as we point to past warming and cooling cycles. I think they’re basically saying at least one cycle in the past was unusual so we can’t use it as a basis to explain the current cycle (which they say isn’t a cycle).
Unpossible. Before global warming the earth’s temperature was a constant 72F, then came White Supremecist Republicans driving SUVs.
The leftists real agenda is to shut down western developed man and his commerce which developed capital and capitalists.
Are they attacking China, India and the BRICS?
Of course not. They attack the west because the west is the most powerful. They're bringing down the big boys first. IMHO, the west became great because of the First and Second Great Awakenings. Sure the English speaking people were powerful before the Awakenings. But before the Awakenings, the British Empire was just yet another empire in the history of empires. The Awakenings changed that and did things like usher in freedom for the citizens, even abolition of slavery, and, yes, capitalism. All of those together within the most powerful culture at the time changed the world.
IMHO the left fears another awakening in the west more than they fear anything else.
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
I have often wondered if passing through a comet’s tails affects weather. It always seems unseasonably cold and/or rainy during Meteor showers.
True that! And not only was it a constant 72F, the rain was constant, the droughts were constant, snowfall was constant, the number and intensity of tornado's and hurricanes were constant and so on.
Yup, so to fight white supremecist republicans, we must fight "climate change" to insist that the climate go back to being static.
There are still other factors.
The array of land is one. Most of the world’s continental landmass is in the Northern Hemisphere. When it, due to those forces described here, points away from the Sun, snow can accumulate quickly into ice sheets that grow and do not melt completely over each weak Summer period until you have continent-wide glaciers. This doesn’t happen as much in the Southern Hemisphere, as it has far more oceanic coverage and there’s just no place for the ice to accumulate except Antarctica and a small bit in Tasmania and the Southern Andes.
Another issue is the joining together of the North and South American continents, and the closing of the Tethys Sea, which reduced the global warm ocean currents, and produced a cold water current at approximately 60 degrees latitude South, which insulated Antarctica into its current ice box climate that hasn’t varied much in 25 million years, as it was sent by plate tectonics to the (bottom of the globe J/K) Southernmost part of the globe.
The Earth’s orbit, and axis tilt, and positions of the summer solstice, etc, have been the same for at least 85M years, if not more. The positions of the continents, which effect ocean currents, have been generally the same for 85M years, and nearly identical to today’s for 34M years. The only thing that has changed is the joining of No America and So America about 6M years ago, if I’m remembering my geology from 55 years ago correctly.
So haw do astronomical forces being on ice ages at periodic intervals, when that is not seen in the record before the current glacial period?
Wasted reading through three paragraphs to learn “...but the details of the mechanism have not been understood.”
The “greatest minds in science” really don’t have any idea.
