A fascinating physical [climate] experiment is now reaching crunch time, probably over the next three years. With the whole human race as observers. I can't help thinking about what happens to lab rats when an experiment finishes.......... " So long and thanks for all the fish"? the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypassen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Long,_and_Thanks_for_All_the_Fish I miss Douglas Adams.

I can't help thinking about what happens to lab rats when an experiment finishes.......... It may perhaps depend on what the "handlers" think of the "experimentees". My wife goes on about her lab rat when she was in nursing school. They did not get along. I have NO doubt what happened to that rat. And as for experiments that finish outside their expected parameters, well ............

Mi espousa said her rat was from species Rattus Nomorass.

I think I can feel the cosmic rays Acid.

I think I can feel the cosmic rays Acid. Me too; I get an itch on the top of my head where the hair used to be.

So given that many of the High Energy Galactic Cosmic Rays (HEGCR) are from supernovae somewhere, if there was a supernova that was relatively close the number of HEGCR might become far more than the accepted cosmic background. So what if the iceages are initiated by a burst of HEGCR that occurs at a point in the solar cycle and the cycle of cycles caused by the motion of the Sun around the barycenter where the Sun's activity is lowest. This is matching a chaotic sequence of events in the sun to a random input from outside the Solar system. It could result in the system moving to the 'cold attractor' stable state. The strength of the HEGCR burst needed would be higher at different phases of the chaotic Solar cycles - so a strong burst even outside the weak cycles may be enough to significantly cool the Earth system. Interesting thoughts.
