Earth's Ice Ages May Have Started With an Ocean Domino Effect

Original: Earth’s Ice Ages May Have Started With a Planet-Wide Ocean Domino Effect

New research suggests Earth's ice ages may have been triggered by a planet-wide chain reaction in the oceans, in which shifts in ocean circulation set off cascading changes that cooled the globe. The findings offer a possible explanation for how glacial periods began, and are drawing attention from climate scientists and science followers curious about the deep history of Earth's climate.

Why now: Fresh research proposing a new ocean-based mechanism for the onset of ice ages is attracting interest
