What to Focus On

  • Climate change is a long-term shift in climate.
  • Evidence comes from geology, lakes, trees, and history.
  • Glacial and inter-glacial periods are important signs of past climate change.
  • Past climate included warm and cold phases.
  • Younger Dryas was a short cold reversal about 10,200 years ago.
  • Climatic Optimum was a warm peak about 5,500 years ago.
  • Natural causes include solar variation, sunspots, Earth-Sun relations, continental drift, atmospheric composition, and volcanic dust.
  • Obliquity and eccentricity are two different Earth-Sun mechanisms.
  • Sunspots follow an 11-year cycle, while magnetic polarity reverses every 22 years.
