Abstract: | Two kinds of blanket of fine grains in the Earth's upper atmosphere are possible: a blanket of reflective dielectric particles and one of absorbing metallic particles. The first is a trigger for the onset of an ice-age, and the second a trigger for the disappearance of an ice-age. The facts support the view that it was a blanket of absorptive particles which caused the extinction of the mammoths. |
