C2, Mq's now decades-old theory on CO2, Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming, Climate Change includes plate tectonics [as student's of my theory will have seen] as a major component of climate forcing.
One thing I haven't yet seen, but I suppose it exists as people with PhDs in climate would start at first principles, I suppose, and work into the fine print from there.
One of the very important aspects which I have not seen is the timeline of land proximity to the equator. That is the key point in Mq's theory in which reflection from increasing snow cover and clouds causes a glaciation when conditions are right.
When land is green, it absorbs light and heats Earth. When land is snow covered and cloud covered, it reflects light and makes things cold, which causes more snow and cloud which becomes a feedback loop until it gets as near the equator as it can.
If all the land is at the poles, due to plate tectonics, then there would only be sea near the equator, which can't freeze in conditions so far on Earth, so all the light is absorbed into the sea, doing a good job of heating.
If land is nearer the equator, then it can be snow covered, causing lots of reflection and snow cover can increase each season until maximum snow cover is reached.
If all the land was arrayed around the equator, it might be too hot to get snow cover, so there would be an optimum latitude for land to be at for maximum glaciations.
I wonder if any of the Climate Change people [such as Wharfie] have got a clue about this or have considered it, or even understand what I mean. They certainly should have done and there should be a graph of global temperatures, total ice, sea levels and position of land relative to latitude over a billion years. Or at least the last 700 million years.
The silly idea of Climate Change people that 650,000 years is a long time, shows just how limited their thinking is. They are rarely going back even 1 million years, which is nothing in Earth's history or life's history. They usually talk in terms of a thousand years or so and think they are going big deal with the 600,000 years graphs.
So come on Wharfie, where's your graph of land versus latitude vs temperatures? It's basic, so it must be right there at their fingertips. I haven't seen it.
I have seen historical tectonic shifts, with India zipping up to Asia and all that, but not correlated with time, glaciations, temperatures, CO2 levels and all that jazz.
