In closing, I would like to indicate some of my other interests
in the
climate area. I have been very interested in the weather on a local
scale
and have published a book titled Victoria's Varied Weather which
examines
spatial and temporal patterns of weather and climate. Some of the
most
interesting extreme weather events are discussed. This book is available
at many local Victoria bookstores and from Trafford Publishing.
I am also very interested in the climate immediately after the
last Ice Age.
At that time, the climate was warming very rapidly, then suddenly,
in a
period of perhaps five to ten years, the world became colder. The
most
widely accepted theory, is that a flux of freshwater entered the
North
Atlantic and caused a disruption in the oceanic circulation resulting
in
rapid and extensive cooling of much of the world's climate. There
remain many problems with this particular theory. Therefore, I am
exploring other possible causes for the cooling of the Earth at
this time. My intent is to write a book presenting my findings.
