Synopsis
The Coming Ice Age explains how winds and ocean currents shape Earth's climate and the rise and retreat of ice sheets.
This edition dives into how the movement of warm and cold waters, driven by prevailing winds and the shape of continents, has influenced climate in both hemispheres. It discusses how tropical and temperate regions interact through sea currents, and how these forces may affect future warming or cooling trends. The text also compares competing theories about past ice ages, emphasizing real-world ocean dynamics over purely astronomical ideas.
- Learn how surface currents transfer heat from the tropics to higher latitudes
- See how winds and land forms steer currents like the Gulf Stream and Humboldt current
- Explore how ice sheets grow, spread, and interact with seas and weather patterns
- Understand debates about whether astronomical cycles or ocean dynamics drive glacial periods
Ideal for readers interested in the science of climate, ocean circulation, and the long history of Earth’s ice ages.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This compelling book explores the fascinating natural occurrences that govern the Earth's climate, with a particular focus on the cyclical nature of ice ages and mild periods. The author presents a well-reasoned theory that attributes the ebb and flow of glacial epochs to the movement of the Earth's oceans, primarily driven by the prevailing wind patterns. By examining the impact of oceanic currents on temperature regulation, the author provides a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of our planet's systems. Drawing on observations made during his extensive seafaring experience, the author argues that the Earth's oceans hold the key to understanding climate change. He traces the circulation of ocean water from the tropics to the poles, explaining how this movement distributes heat and influences global temperatures. By delving into past geological evidence and analyzing current oceanic conditions, the author builds a convincing case for his theory. The book highlights the delicate balance that exists between the Earth's natural forces, emphasizing the potential consequences of disrupting these patterns. It serves as a timely reminder of the importance of understanding and preserving our planet's intricate ecosystems.
