In this article I want to explore what this new theory implies about the present political debate called “global warming”.

Following some very helpful comments to previous articles I am outlining the trigger mechanism in more detail and I want to go back to look at the reasons why we might have a relatively stable inter-glacial temperature. See also: Introduction … Continue reading →

This is a repeat of the article in which I describe how temperature and CO2 are not correlated around 16,000 years after the inter-glacial peak. For those not familiar with my sense of humour the “Haseler Gap” also refers to … Continue reading →

In the previous introduction and article on cycles I covered ground that will be familiar to many. In this article I want to look at Hadley cells and start to consider other ways the planet might operate. See also: Introduction … Continue reading →

So far we have discussed ice-age cycles as if there is one and only one type of cycle of around 100k years. In this article I want to put flesh onto that skeleton and look at the variety of cycles … Continue reading →

After discussing how reducing CO2 could modulate H2O to produce a drier and therefore colder climate I want to review the evidence for that colder climate in the ice-age. To recap In the last article (How CO2 could control climate) … Continue reading →

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 →
