Update

Mid March I started writing a “brief outline” of the Caterpillar Effect and how thermal induced tectonic plate movement drives the ice-age cycle.
I have already missed two of my self-imposed deadlines and with several key issues still needing “ironing out” which inevitably means adding even more detail. This “brief” article (only covering the essential details) is now 35 pages long, over 10,000 words with approaching 30 figures.
I am looking at publishing it as a short book.
The book will contain at least four new, revolutionary … oops  five! …  new revolutionary ideas, three of which I’ve either not mentioned at all or said very little about on my blog. In the process I’ve looked down the throat of the global warming dragon and seen the vile contents of its stomach, only to realise that it’s just my old caterpillar in disguise and I can now say with complete confidence that there’s no chance whatsoever (or to use appropirate scientific notation – there’s a very low chance that) of us ever suffering from global warming. My main aim now is to try to get the thing finished, that is to say, to complete  full description of the ice-age cycle even if parts have to be speculative.
