Do recent climatic fluctuations portend an imminent ice age?

Contenido principal del artículo

Hurd C. Willett

Resumen

Las fluctuaciones climáticas recientes se examinan en relación a su amplitud y configuración, como un prerrequisito necesario para poder explicarlas y predecirlas mediante extrapolación. Dos hipótesis marcadamente distintas, la de contaminación atmosférica y la de interacción cíclica Solar Climática, se consideran como posibles causas de las fluctuaciones recientes y, por lo tanto, como predictores de los cambios de clima futuros, especialmente en relación con la inminencia de una época glacial. La hipótesis solar-climática es preferentemente apoyada por el autor.
