The earth has endured periodical cycles of warming and cooling‚ but how much of the modern climate change is in fact natural? In the last 650‚000 years‚ the earth has gone through several major changes in temperature‚ caused by an array of natural effects.

Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods‚ called interglacial periods‚ appear to last approximately 15‚000 to 20‚000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18‚000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is closer to its end than its beginning (Geo Craft). This leads to the growing debate of today‚ is global warming man-made? Or is it just a cycle that the Earth goes through? This is a controversial

Fact Sheet: Climate Change in Australia Over Millions of years The Ice Age – The Cryogenian Period (850-630 million years ago) Even though there wasn’t ice everywhere when the ice age occurred‚ Australia and the rest of the continent were majorly affected by ice glaciers (known as bulldozers). Due to the environment being very cold and the outskirts of the glaciers turning into artic deserts‚ glaciers preserved the fossils of various plants and animals. Based on this fossil evidence‚ it is proven
