Toward a new theory of ice-ages IV (Thermal crust expansion, decomposition and the Carbon cycle)

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

Toward a new theory of ice-ages III (Temperature induced changes to earth’s crust)

In the previous introduction and article on cycles I explained that we need some kind of time delay or timing element to explain the ice age cycles. This is because one of the key problems with explaining the ice-ages is … Continue reading
