A New Theory of Cloud Formation and Climate Change on the Earth
... By matching tree rings of known years to rainfall data at a particular place, we can easily deduce how much rain each ring width size represents. Similarly, by studying rocks, trees, glacial strata known as varves, ocean sediments, ice layers and coral formations in association with radiometric tech ...
