The Great Climate Flip-FlopThe Great Climate Flip-Flop
 Atlantic Monthly article reviews the abrupt (less than a decade transition) climate changes of the past, analyzes the role of the Gulf Stream's thermohaline circulation switching modes of operation, and presents three scenarios for the future, including potential methods for stabilizing the flip-flop tendencies. (January, 1998)

Astronomical Theory Offers New Explanation For Ice AgeAstronomical Theory Offers New Explanation For Ice Age
 Article about research suggesting that cyclical changes in the location of the Earth's orbit causing differing amounts of extraterrestrial debris to come into the atmosphere, and not the Milankovitch theory, explain cycles of glaciation in the last million years. (July 11, 1997)
