 Snowball Earth
In 1992, the term "Snowball Earth" was first coined by Joseph Kirschvink, a geologist from the California Institute of Technology, to describe the evidence of a ice enshrouded Earth.
Kirschvink and others have since championed their theory in the face of a mounting group of scientists who feel the "snowball Earth" theory goes to far and think reality was just a bit different.
The basic theory of the "Snowball Earth" is that during the Late Proterozoic (900 - 570 million years ago (MA)) the continents aligned in the right manner, all located near the equator, allowing sea ice to form over both poles.

 The Snowball Earth
A "snowball" Earth would not only be the most severe glaciation conceivable, it would be the most prolonged.

The slow warming of our sun since that time might explain why no "snowball" event has occurred since the Neoproterozoic, but the geological evidence is compelling that such glaciations did not occur for at least one billion years prior to the Neoproterozoic when the sun was even cooler.
