Indeed, scientists at Scripps recently suggested that 1,800 - year
cycles of ocean tides could drive a natural rise in global temperatures.
Newton's theory of gravity provided the first correct
explanation of ocean tides and their long known correlation with the phases of the moon.

The paintings depicted in the book communicate the
motion of the ocean tides, the vivid sunsets, and the seemingly pure emotions inspired by Audubon's pink and orange flamingo colors.
It should be noted that we are in fact using «natural cycles» in several cases without noticeable opposition, notably in the
computation of ocean tides.
The cyclic strengthening and
weakening of ocean tides over tens of millions of years is likely linked to another, longer cycle: the formation of Earth's supercontinents every 400 to 600 million years, according a new study.
They discovered temperature oscillations that seem to vary with the
cycle of ocean tides and most likely influence 40 to 60 million cubic meters of sediment.
