Synopsis
How heat, clouds, and oceans shape Earth’s long climate history
This book surveys the big questions behind past climates and argues that solar power alone doesn’t explain geologic climate changes. It presents a readable case for how stored heat in the oceans and a non‑conducting crust, along with cloud cover, helped govern temperatures from ancient times up to the modern era.
Two main ideas run through the work: first, that earth heat and radioactivity provided a conservative, fluctuating energy source; second, that solar radiation interacted with clouds to set the patterns of warm and cool periods. The author draws on geology, paleontology, and meteorology to show how glaciations, interglacials, and shifts in oceans and landforms fit together in a long climate story.- How ocean heat and radio‑active processes could influence climate over geologic timescales
- The role of clouds as a gatekeeper for heat and a mediator between oceans and the atmosphere
- How crustal changes, volcanic activity, and topography relate to glaciation cycles
- Why solar energy’s influence grows stronger in the more recent, modern era

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of Earth's climates throughout geologic time. It challenges established assumptions about solar control of historic climates, arguing instead that Earth's internal heat was an active factor. The author examines major climatic shifts, including the Permo-Carboniferous and Pleistocene glaciations, and identifies patterns and anomalies that challenge the conventional wisdom. By exploring the interplay between Earth's heat, solar radiation, and atmospheric conditions, this book offers a fresh perspective on how climates have transformed over billions of years, providing crucial insights into their potential future trajectories. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
