re: #260 BryanS

That was the fad news story from the 70s, but what is the explanation for any suggestion we are heading into a cooling period? I don’t think we have a good explanation for the extreme variations in climate over the history of the earth. The best explanation I heard for how the earth gets out of an ice age is the slow accumulation of CO2 from volcanic eruptions eventually overwhelms the drive to melt the ice coverings. I haven’t heard a good explanation yet for why we head into an ice age to begin with.

I was just throwing that one out there. It is quite likely to be wrong. I just mentioned it without endorsement to get the conversation going.
