Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Written by a climate scientist as opposed to a geologist, this book approaches the question of the causes of the ice age from a meteorological perspective. While acknowledging that the geological record is essential for framing the question of causation, the author takes the view that gathering further such evidence is inadequate to solve the problem �" what is needed is a better understanding of the laws of meteorology and climatology. With this in mind, he first reviews the key meteorological elements that contribute to the formation and melting of glaciers, using this knowledge to understand the necessary meteorological conditions that would have made possible the expansion of glaciers to the dramatic extent seen in the ice age. He concludes that such an expansion could not have been caused by an increase in precipitation and proposes that only a reduction in mean and summer temperatures, along with an increase in annual temperature variation would meet the requirements. The author notes how this conclusion agrees with the findings of studies into the causes of contemporary glacier variations, and also notes that under such conditions, lower temperatures and greater temperature variations would be expected over continents compared to oceans (and vice versa in periods of reduced glaciation). The author then examines the various astronomical, geographical and meteorological hypotheses which have been put forward to explain the necessary climatic conditions �" that is, how the necessary meteorological conditions might have come about. Critically evaluating each in turn, the author finds most wanting. He argues in favor of his own hypothesis: that the most likely explanation lies in an alteration of atmospheric transparency, caused by an increase in water vapor in the atmosphere, resulting in greater cloudiness and precipitation, and hence reduced solar radiation reaching the earth's surface and reduced temperatures. This hypothesis has the advantage of being consistent with a number of other geological findings, such as evidence for a period of more intense rainfall during the ice age.
