	Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest well-documented ice age, and probably the most severe of the last 1 billion years, occurred from 800 to 600 million years ago (the Cryogenian period) and it has been suggested that it produced a Snowball Earth in which permanent sea ice extended to or very near the equator.
		The present ice age began 40 million years ago with the growth of an ice sheet in Antarctica, but intensified during the Pleistocene (starting around 3 million years ago) with the spread of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere.
		The timing of ice ages throughout geologic history is in part controlled by the position of the continental plates on the surface of the Earth.

	The Ice Age
		An ice age is only a term used to describe one of two things: (1) whole glacial epochs such as the Pleistocene, or (2) a single glacial stage such as the Wisconsin or Illinoisan (see attached map) which are within glacial epochs, and they can last about 19,000 to 100,000 years.
		The third great ice age occurred during the Paleozoic Era that started from 600 million to 225 million years ago, and is the era in which most fossil records have been extracted from, thus the name of the era which means "ancient life" in Greek.
		Ice ages are unusual and short episodes of the Earth's climatic history because the combined length of glacial stages is only about 50 to 200 million years, or only 1 to 4% of Earth's history (Goldthwait 1).

	B. Prehistory and the Great Ice Age. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		About 1.6 million years ago, at the beginning of the Pleistocene (commonly called the Great Ice Age), the world's climatic changes intensified.
		For long stretches of time, the northern parts of both Europe and North America were mantled with great ice sheets, the last retreating only some 15,000 years ago.
		Most of Canada and the United States were covered with vast ice sheets, as far south as Seattle, the Great Lakes, and Nova Scotia.

	Ice cores, carbon dioxide concentration, and climate
		Ice cores have been drilled in Antarctica and Greenland to examine the variation of the composition of air trapped in bubbles in the ice, representing global atmospheric conditions as much as 160,000 years BP (1).
		The layers of the core were dated by counting the annual layers of oxygen ratio, ice electro-conductivity and hydrogen-peroxide concentration, and then the chronology was verified by detecting the acidic layers due to known volcanic eruptions in 1963, 1815, 1450 and 1255 AD.
		It appears that the air bubbles trapped in the ice represent the atmospheric composition at the time of snow deposition, in other words gas diffusion through the ice is negligible.

	Theories of the Ice Age
		In 1863 Escher von der Linth and E. Desor proposed a diluvial "Sahara Sea" as the cause of the ice age in the northern hemisphere.
		His explanation for the ice age is presented in The Ice Age And The Genesis Flood from ICR.
		A problem with this post-flood ice age theory is that it implies huge populations of Pleistocene animals survived the flood, only to become extinct afterwards during a brief ice age of only a few centuries.

		Even seemingly small disasters compared to great Ice Ages have had extreme adverse effects on the world’s climate and in turn the multitude of populations of living organisms.
		It is generally believed that the Earth’s relationship to the Sun in its rotation and the ‘wobble’ on its axis have caused several Ice Ages in the past (Chorlton 151).
		Therefore, it is feasible that within the next 5,000 years an Ice Age will occur that can only be hastened by the effects of humanity which will reach a population of 20 billion in 2030 causing only further upheaval in the environment.

		Louis Agassiz's concept of a "Great Ice Age" had to be modified in a number of ways.
		The ice sheets were not as large as he had thought, the ice age did not arrive as suddenly as he had proposed, and in fact there were several ice ages in succession, not just one giant one.
		Once it was obvious that the Great Ice Age was in fact a period of repeated glaciations and warmings, the task was to identify these different glaciations, establish whether they were cyclic phenomena, and attempt to correlate them between the various regions on the same continent and between continents.

	How Global Warming May Cause the Next Ice Age...
		The Great Conveyor Belt, while shaped by the Coriolis effect of the Earth's rotation, is mostly driven by the greater force created by differences in water temperatures and salinity.
		We knew from the fossil record that the Great Ice Age period began a few million years ago, and during those years there were times where for hundreds or thousands of years North America, Europe, and Siberia were covered with thick sheets of ice year-round.
		When the ice in the Arctic Ocean is frozen solid and locked up, and the glaciers on Greenland are relatively stable, this variation warms and cools the Earth in a very small way, but doesn't affect the operation of the Great Conveyor Belt that brings moderating warm water into the North Atlantic.

		Even though we now know that the ice did not come from the North Pole, this was a step in the right direction, but it was widely resisted because of diehard adherence to the old Flood notion.
		This is why he insisted, irrationally, that the ice sheets had destroyed all life, and that there could therefore be no direct link between species of the past and present.
		The last of these, known as the Great Ice Age, began about 70,000 years ago, peaked at about 20,000 years ago, and ended 8,000 years ago when the glaciers shrunk to approximately their present-day limits.

		The alternative to Georges Cuvier’s concept, that of severe and sudden cooling, found enormous amplification in the rapidly emerging theory of the ice age, and was promulgated by Louis Agassiz, a young Swiss naturalist who started his career as Cuvier's assistant.
		Agassiz's theory of mass extinction was based on his "discovery" of the "Great Ice Age" which he had vigorously defended toward doubting colleagues, ever since 1837 when he had first presented his ideas to the Swiss Society of Natural Sciences in Neuchâtel.
		The theory of a past ice age, which initially had been rejected by many leading geologists, was not new to many Alpine naturalists.

		The cause of the melt down of the Ice Age is still a matter of conjecture and discussion.
		During the long build up phase of the Ice Age, plants and animals were able to adapt to their slowly changing environment.
		Following the melt down of the Ice Age, there was plenty or room left on the continent, and plenty of game, to support the few humans who were living in North America.

	On Finding an Ice-Age Book
		I was thoroughly convinced that there had been a very Biblical ice age after the Noahic flood for I had followed the courses of several of the glaciers on our own continent and had viewed their great rivers of ice in British Columbia and in Alaska.
		It strikes against Patton's proposal that the ice epoch is the catastrophe which triggered the Noahic flood, an anachronism which flies in the face of all of the geological evidence and of the testimony of the book of Job which describes life during that ice epoch.
		When the continents divided and moved to their present locations, this caused great volcanoes to erupt to relieve the enormous heat of friction generated by the movement of the continental plates over the weakened, inner crust of the earth which is called rheosphere.

	Extinction ice age
		Those that were not died in a mass extinction that heralded the ice age's onset.
		Powell looked at extinctions during an age when glaciers reached to within 35 degrees of the equator, roughly as far south as a line between present-day Raleigh, Memphis and Albuquerque or nearly as far north as Buenos Aires.
		Powell tackled the question of why extinction rates were so low during that great ice age by closely examining geographic patterns of evolution and extinction in brachiopods, simple shelled sea creatures that were abundant and well-fossilized during the Paleozoic.

		They believe volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula were the ultimate source of these layers; some ash also occurs in layers earlier in the record---but only a tenth as often as it does beginning about 50,000 years before the great ice sheets covered the land.

	Mammoth—riddle of the Ice Age
		The creationist meteorologist Michael Oard proposed that the Ice Age [possibly referred to in Job 37:10 and 38:22] was an aftermath of Noah’s Flood.
		Oard suggests flooding caused by ice melting at the close of the Ice Age could have caused such local catastrophes, and a quick drop in temperature (but not a snap-freeze) explains the freezing.
		The ice would separate the air from the ocean, and reflect sunlight, preventing it from heating the earth (albedo effect), because this requires absorption of the radiation.

		In millennia past, however, before the Arctic totally froze and locked up, and before some critical threshold amount of fresh water was locked up in the Greenland and other glaciers, these 1500-year variations in solar energy didn't just slightly warm up or cool down the weather for the land masses bracketing the North Atlantic.

	Tackling the big freeze
		He says this was either from their being carried by an ice sheet, or dropped from an iceberg floating in one of the many lakes which were abundant near the ice sheet.
		Mike says that he first began to think seriously about the mechanism for an ice age about twenty years ago, when he noticed that the evidence for the boundary of the North American ice sheet was right at the edge of where the present–day ‘permanent’ winter snow accumulates.
		Though he doesn’t claim to have all the answers, Mike speculates that these creatures died at the very end of the post–Flood biblical Ice Age, when the vast sheets were melting, bringing in permanent climate change and also catastrophic flooding events when huge lakes burst through ice dams.
