Climate change: Snow maker for the ice ages
Katharina Billups1
Abstract
In the Northern Hemisphere, large-scale glaciation was initiated comparatively recently. Paradoxically, it seems that the trigger was a seasonal warming of the sea surface in an upwind oceanic region.
Over the past 50 million years, the Earth's climate has been cooling (Fig. 1).
