Instead, the team points out that similar swings in different isotopes» levels, occurring in both parts of the world, suggest that the two regions were experiencing
the same changes in ocean chemistry at the same time.
Thus if the two mid latitude jets move equatorward at the
same time as the ITCZ moves closer to the equator the combined effect on global albedo and the amount of solar energy able to penetrate the
oceans will be substantial and would dwarf the other proposed effects on albedo from
changes in cosmic ray intensity generating
changes in cloud totals as per Svensmark and from suggested
changes caused
in upper cloud quantities by
changes in atmospheric
chemistry involving ozone which various other climate sceptics propose.
