Synopsis

This book explores climatic variations throughout geological history, questioning the long-held belief in the earth's ongoing refrigeration. The author challenges previous assumptions that global climate is uniform and affected by astronomical influences such as the tilt of the Earth. Instead, the text examines the impact of variations in the composition of the atmosphere, such as the amount of carbonic acid present, as well as changes in the temperature gradient. Through accessible language and engaging insights, the book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of climate variations and their profound impact on the Earth's geological and biological landscapes.
