Background of a Geophysical Model of the Initiation of the Next Glaciation
Evidence of (at least) five rapid hemispheric coolings of about 5°C during the last 10 5 yr has been found, each event spread over not more than about a century, as examples of a global-scale climatic intransitivity. Only some of them lead to a complete glaciation at the northern continents, others...
