Climate crisis: Scientists ‘identify missing link’ in formation of ice ages – The Independent
Movement of Antarctic icebergs could disrupt ocean currents and pull huge volume of greenhouse gases out of atmosphere, study suggests
The precise mechanisms which lead to the onset of the huge glaciations known as ice ages are not fully understood, but scientists claim they have now found a missing link which could help explain what triggers the many chain reactions which together plunge our planet into prolonged periods of cold temperatures.
Researchers have suggested that when certain conditions are in place, the melting of Antarctic icebergs could play a large, and previously unrecognised role in driving the onset of ice ages.
