Intro to climate system
... Climate is a long-term average over all types of fluctuations and processes (including weather). It has been (and still is) common practice to talk about 30 year averages. In our life-time we will observe (with an attentive state of mind) 2 non-overlapping climate average periods. Climate is n ...

... A water molecule H2O can form either from 16O or 18O (16 protons, but 18 neutrons). But the lighter isotope 16O evaporates more readily from the ocean. Thus, precipitation (hence glacial ice) is enriched in 16O. During the periods when glaciers are extensive, more lighter 16O is tied up in the ice, ...
