In some sense, the search for a
theory of glacial - interglacial
cycles amounts to a search for the «rectifier» which turns the modulation of the amplitude of the seasonal forcing into a rectified signal in global
ice volume.
Yet another
theory has been advanced by Peter Huybers who argued that the 41,000 - year
cycle has always been dominant, but that the Earth has entered a mode of climate behavior where only the second or third
cycle triggers an
ice age.
Glacial - interglacial
cycles are an unfinished story, however, held up primarily by the lack of a good
theory for the glacial / interglacial CO2 fluctuations, and a number of uncertainties in
ice dynamics.
In this year 1960 A.D., we are (still according to the Ewing - Donn
theory) at the point in the
cycle where the Arctic Ocean is almost ready to shed its old, old, covering of
ice.
«They will never fix their
theory or models until they understand the Polar
Ice Cycles.
Scientists can tell from basic astronomical
theory how Milankovich
cycles have evolved over the past hundreds of thousands of years.The
ice - sheets affect the climate by reflecting sunlight.
Consensus Climate
Theory and Models do not properly account for the Polar
Ice Cycles.
It was a peer reviewed and published paper that shows not all
ice ages match the M
cycle theory however they all match the movement of the solar plane that the Earth orbits the sun on.
In the case of the 100 kyr
ice age
cycles, that forcing is high northern latitude summer insolation driven by predictable changes in Earth's orbital and rotational parameters — aka, Milankovitch
theory — which has the intial effect of melting glaciers, thereby reducing albedo at those latitudes.
Climate
Theory and Climate Models do not include this
ice cycle.
But the biggest objection to the
theory that the Milankovitch
cycles caused the
ice ages is that there is no statistically significant connection between the two!
In some sense, the search for a
theory of glacial - interglacial
cycles amounts to a search for the «rectifier» which turns the modulation of the amplitude of the seasonal forcing into a rectified signal in global
ice volume.
