This article explores how changes in CO2 might be linked through plant growth to global water vapour and thus provide a potential indirect mechanism by which CO2 might influence climate. To recap So far I have introduced the concept of … Continue reading →

In this article I explain why the evidence shows we are unlikely to get runaway global warming in the present inter-glacial period and propose a simple mechanism. Recap So far I have proposed a timing mechanism explaining the long period … Continue reading →

The last article discussed negative and positive feedbacks in the climate. Now I want to see how these impact the stability of the climate and also how the stability of the climate can tell us what kinds of feedback are … Continue reading →

Although feedbacks and the resultant climate sensitivity are widely discussed, it is done so with reference to CO2 and warming. During the ice-age cycles feedbacks act when the temperatures are both cooling and warming. This will be obvious to many … Continue reading →

In the last article I showed how the temperature change between Glacial and interglacial was sufficient to cause up to 2.3km of crust to be forced down into the earth’s core. In this article I examine how this could affect … Continue reading →

We saw in the previous introductory article that the ice-ages appear to come and go about every 120,000 years. Their shape suggests a fast rise in temperature followed by a slow decline which is indicative of some kind of cyclic … Continue reading →

This was a quick outline of a theory I’ve been developing since the summer on the cause and progression of ice-ages. As I started describing the theory and the background, it mushroomed and spawned into several articles and then  … … Continue reading →
