Sounds a little bit like Velikovsky's theory, which mainstream science would never admit.

It just goes to show that there are so many little understood processes going on that we can't make a firm determination.

Of course, the remedy will be to pump CO2 into the atmosphere to counteract the cooling.

Cosmic Rays?? Anyone who was hooked on the Fantastic Four comics in the 60's know that is what made them change into superheroes. Cool, We'll be a planet of superheroes!
And it will all be Bush's fault!

Thanks, Graybeard58 for posting the topic.
This is a Catastrophism & Astronomy topic for GGG.
The late Eugene Shoemaker (geologist, codiscoverer of the comets SL-9 which smashed into Jupiter in 1994) thought that the traverse through the galaxy may be what shakes loose the supposed Oort Cloud objects, which then come through the inner solar system, and bring on the supposed clusters of impacts, such as those which end the paleontological periods.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

You mean climate change isn't caused by SUV's???

I've heard this hypothesis proposed in the past. Interesting.

Theorists have proposed that when our solar system passes through a spiral arm, the cosmic rays fall to Earth and knock electrons off atoms in the atmosphere, making them electrically charged, or ionized. Or maybe it's just a little bit of shade from the interstellar clouds.

Sounds like a reasonable 'theory'.

The sun [and earth] rotate about the Milky Way in 200 million years. If there is a particular dusty spot in our spiral arm our inclination to the plane would swing us by that spot twice in 100 million years. That puts these events on the average 50 million years apart. Does that match up with the frequency of ice ages?
