Despite the fact that it seems outlandish, over the eons, glaciers may have made Earth hotter, another study suggests. Researchers took an information driven jump into the mechanics of weathering by glaciation more than millions of years to see how chilly cycles influenced the oceans and atmosphere and keep on doing so. They needed to know how and when chemicals released by weathering of the land achieved the atmosphere and sea, and what impact they have had. Their study shows that glaciation, through upgraded erosion, most likely increased the rate of carbon dioxide released to the earth. The researchers decided upgraded oxidation of pyrite, an iron sulfide also known as trick's gold, most likely produced corrosiveness that encouraged carbon dioxide into the oceans and changed the carbon cycle. The oscillation of glaciers more than 10,000 years could have changed atmospheric carbon dioxide by 25 parts for each at least million. While this is a significant level of t...
