So can anyone disprove this web page? I don't think so. There'd have to be some actual evidence to debunk.
Hi Apothecus,
Well both JKT and the fellow who wrote the web page have the amount of water vapor which increases with temperature and relative humity comfused. That's why in the OP he made the stupid statement that less water vapor means less precipitation.
Of course it wll rain, or snow, or the dew will set if the relative humidity reaches 100% and the temperature continues to drop.
Isn't this stuff covered in 9th grade earth science? Didn't these two guys ever watch the weather channel?
The article states that during the ice age the oceans were warm from pole to pole and top to bottom. All this to solve the nonexistant problem mentioned above.
Can we tell that past ocean temperature? Sure, we can look at the oxygen18 to oxygen16 ratios in the tests of forams & radiolarians, in shells and in corals. The strontium to calcium balance in corals is also temperature dependant. All of this tells us the oceans were colder during ice ages.
An explanation can be found here:
Paleoclimatology: The Oxygen Balance
And here also, check out the graph of the earths temp through time right at the top (click to enlarge).
