Abstract
ON page 20 of his very interesting book, “The Evolution of Climate,” Mr. C. E. P. Brooks says that I have “attributed glaciation to the presence of great quantities of volcanic dust in the atmosphere.” This is too generous. I only insist that volcanic dust is one of the factors that control climate, and that at times it may (not must) have been an important factor, especially when mountains were high and continents extensive.
