Earth’s Climate Evolution –A New (Geological) Perspective.
Colin SummerhayesScott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge & Erskine Fellow, University of Canterbury, NZ
The Great Cooling – Did the Continents Move?
Tropical climate
Cold Climate
‘Continents therefore, although permanent for whole geological epochs, shift their positions entirely in the course of ages’.
Given Humboldt’s isothermal lines, Lyell deduced- if climate zones had not changed, then the continents had moved!!
“I will give you a receipt [i.e. recipe] for growing tree ferns at the pole, or if it suits me, pines at the equator; walruses under the line [the Equator], and crocodiles in the arctic circle.”
Charles Lyell (1797-1875) Lyell, 1875)
Alfred Wegener Drifts the Continents
Wegener fought against the entrenched ideas of Eduard Suess (1888) “The Face of the Earth” • southern continents linked by land that later sank.• the linked continents formed Gondwanaland.
• Not until plate tectonics came along were geologists convinced Wegener was right.

First Palaeoclimate Maps (1924)
Wladimir Köppen and Alfred Wegener mapped coal (humid), aeolian sands (deserts), ice indicators (cold),salts (evaporites), and plant indicators (Glossopteris).
Deduced position of equator and south pole (Carboniferous) (without palaeomagnetic data).
(1846-1940)

The Climate Clock: Celestial Mechanics Affect Climate
A = Eccentricity. Orbit now near circular; seasons are shorter and warmer at points close to sun. Max eccentricity = 23% cooler at aphelion.
B = Tilt of Earth’s axis: 21.5° to 24.5°. Currently 23° (medium seasonality). Most effective at high latitudes.
C = Precession (combines two signals)(i) Axial precession changes where the axis
points at a given time; (ii) Earth’s position at equinoxes and
solstices migrates around the orbit (Apsidal precession).
Earth now closest to sun in mid-winter.In 11,000 years it will be closest in
midsummer.V Masson Delmotte (2006).

Changes In Solar Output Also Affect Climate
• When there are lots of sunspots, the solar wind (ejected plasma) is strong..
• The solar wind deflects cosmic rays.
• Cosmic Rays form 14C and 10Be isotopes.
• 14C and 10Be in ice cores/tree rings give us past sunspot variability.

Our CO2 Emissions Cut Across The Cooling Trend Of Orbital Insolation
We should still be in the Little Ice Age.Greenhouse warming has pushed us outside
the natural envelope of climate change.

Why Does This Matter?West Antarctica Melts 200,000 Years Ago(when next?)
Summary: the Sun is the major driver of climate, but -
CO2 can change Temperature, and Temperature can change CO2
Volcanoes provide major CO2 source (warming); chemical weathering provides major CO2 sink (cooling). Climate reflects the balance (source vs sink).
Orbital change plays a subsidiary role within a well-defined natural envelope.
Orbital warming releases oceanic CO2; a cooling ocean absorbs CO2.
Solar change modifies the effect of orbital change within its own, smaller, natural envelope.
CO2 is now above the natural envelope of the past 800 kyr.
Temperature is now above the orbital and solar envelopes of the past 1.6 kyr.
Geology says more CO2 will warm us more, raise our sea level, and acidify our ocean. The IPCC says the same. We should be concerned.
Thank you for your attention!

CO2 low = COOL = Mg/Ca ratio >2 = High Mg-calcite + Aragonite reef builders (o)
CO2 high = WARM = Mg/Ca ratio <2 = Low Mg Calcite (forams & coccoliths form massive chalks).

• what tangible objectives will limit global warming to 2°C?• what pathways best combine climate change mitigation and adaptation?• how should we best use the remaining carbon budget to ensure well-being?• what is the cost of inaction? • how can we frame climate change as an opportunity rather than a burden?
To better understand the Earth System we need: Ø expanded long-term space observations, ground-based monitoring and
information-processing, data management capabilities, observing networks, high-performance computing, Earth-system models, theoretical frameworks, data-management systems and research infrastructure);
Ø new technologies (e.g. small satellites, constellations, unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, balloons, and even smart phones);
Ø to merge large volumes of diverse data (e.g. via new data sharing policies).

• December 2013 – “An addendum to the Geological Society Statement on Climate Change”
• C.Summerhayes, J.Cann, E.Wolff, R.Larter, I.McCave, J.Lowe, A.Cohen, J.Francis (P.Barrett, external review), plus P.Pearson, A.Haywood, E.Nickless, S.Day (2010), and P.Valdes, N.Bilham (2013)
• CONCLUSION: “In the light of the evidence presented here it is reasonable to conclude that emitting further large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere over time is likely to be unwise, uncomfortable though that fact may be”.
