The author contends that for much of the planet's life, a steady, internal heat source kept the surface too hot for oceans to exist. As heat was gradually lost, these steamy conditions cooled, allowing the first bodies of water to form and shrouding the planet in a dense, heat-trapping fog that kept out the Sun's energy. The author argues that this veil of fog only thinned as the planet lost heat, allowing for drastic shifts in climate prior to the Ice Age, which was solely caused by the unique thermal properties of water in its solid and liquid forms. The author supports this idea by pointing to the widespread evidence of glaciation in tropical and temperate zones, which would have been impossible under conditions of solar-controlled climate. This theory not only reinterprets the Earth's geological climate history but also sheds light on climate formation on other planets in our solar system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
