Can cosmic rays affect Earth's climate?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Tibetan/Himalayan glaciation during the Last Glacial Maximum, highlighting the potential implications of a shift in the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This shift may have led to excessive precipitation in the region, contributing to glacial formation. The findings presented in the referenced document support this hypothesis, suggesting a significant climatic impact during that period. The conversation also touches on the complexities of current climate dynamics, indicating ongoing challenges in understanding these historical patterns.

A magnificent find, Wolram. Thanks a lot.

I was just studying the Tibetan/Himalayan glaciation during the Last Glacial Maximum and this fits in exactly. It could mean that the Inter Tropical Conversion Zone shifted so that it caused excessive precipitation.

Well i am sure the current bun is a tricky customer, i bet they pin one on him sooner or later.
 

Thread 'Landslide, tsunami, seiche in Tracy Arm fjord, Alaska - 10 August 2025'

On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
