Approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth, says Phys.org.
Contemporaneous with this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded.
A European research team including Earth scientists from Heidelberg University used recently acquired geological data in combination with computer simulations to identify this seemingly paradoxical connection.
