There is evidence that Earth has gone through at least one globally frozen, «snowball» state in the last billion years, which it is thought to have exited after several million years because global ice - cover shut off the carbonate - silicate cycle, thereby allowing greenhouse gases to build up to sufficient concentration to melt the ice.

This empirical climate sensitivity corresponds to the Charney (1979) definition of climate sensitivity, in which «fast feedback» processes are allowed to operate, but long - lived atmospheric gases, ice sheet area, land area and vegetation cover are fixed forcings.

As CO2 climbs, temps get coupled and climb higher faster, thus melting the Artic ice cover, thus allowing more and more snowfall in the NH, thus creating glaciers, thus creating a negative feedback, thus starting cooling, thus CO2 starts to drop, thus cooling picks up, thus finally the Artic freezes again, thus starts less snowfall, etc..

The only problem with all the predictions about the level of the World Ocean rising is that, the World Ocean is refusing to rise up in support of the predictions, the other problem is that ice is frozen fresh water and frozen fresh water only covers about 5 % of this planet above sea level and frozen water under the level of the World Ocean does not count as the World Ocean will fall a small amount if that ice melts, so if the ice there is enough to get the World Ocean to rise and significant amount then it must be piled up very high, I cubic kilometer of water as ice, should it melt, would make 1000 square kilometers rise by one meter, so when you use this simple math then somewhere on the planet, above the level of the sea, then there must be over 500,000 cubic kilometers of ice, piled up and just waiting to melt, strange that no one can find that amount of ice, all these morons who talk about the rise of the World Ocean in tens of meters, this includes you Peter Garrett or Mr. 7 Meters, the ice does not exist to allow this amount of rise in the World Ocean, it is just not there.

These new sea ice proxy records are needed (1) to fully prove the scenarios of a succession from an extended ice shelf to polynya / open - water conditions (cf., Fig. 6), (2) to reconstruct in more detail the changes in sea ice cover for early, middle and late LIG intervals characterized by very different external forcings and related internal feedback mechanisms, and (3) to allow a more fundamental proxy data / modeling comparison that results in model improvements and better reproduction of the LIG climatic evolution and prediction of future climatic scenarios20, 21,22,23, 64.
