Certainly Durhamfox, the ice age sequencing is well understood. We get many Solar cycles, these happen over short periods and longer periods, if you read the article I put up earlier you would understand that small temp changes have a large effect.
We are overdue on a Ice age.
Why do you think that is ?
As I have said, it's the man made element that is important, that's why Ice ages were predictable in the past, but not now.
On the point of when the Ice retreated, the gases that were released were miniscule. This is because they are made of dying Vegetation and any Organic material including us.
Also when an end of an Ice age occurs, we still have large areas covered in Ice, this is known as Permafrost.
What we are now seeing is no Ice age, when we should have had one already, and the ONLY way we can account for this is the man made element of greenhouse gases.
The largest carbon syncs are our Oceans and we don't need to warm these much to have runaway climate change. That means the Earth cooks, even if we then reduce the whole world to Carbon neutral. As you cannot stop the process.
We already know we cannot stop the 1.5 degrees of warming, but governments tell us we can.
However the science predicts that even if we put zero carbon in the atmosphere today, that we would still rise by 1 degree by 2050, with the existing levels.
We know this, it is not debatable.
Hence why we are talking about Carbon syncing to take gases out the Atmosphere .
We have some technology, but we are not there yet, and is incredibly expensive for little effect.
Why do you think that new built Cars in the UK will be all electric by 2030.
We started off with 2050, and have reduced it bit by bit.
Governments at the moment are trying to slow the process down, as they know that the solution is politically unacceptable.
We may be successful, we may not.
But if we continue with the Paris accord, then we will not be, as this falls short on a massive scale.
Prepare for all our lives to be further disrupted, Gas boilers on the way out.
Heavy industry will need to change. Aircraft that use fossil fuels with be outlawed.
