Climate research
In a recent paper “Modulation of ice
ages via precession and dust-albedo feedbacks” Ellis & Palmer describe key features of
recent ice age records without reference to greenhouse gasses. This paper
raises the question of the importance of dust, as modulated by Milankovitch
cycles, and its relationship to anthropogenic CO2 as the primary
cause of climate change and global warming.
The next step is to define a
research program based on Ellis’ hypothesis. How important is the role of dust
and particulates vs anthropogenic CO2 on climate change?
