The Coming Ice Age

A seasoned mariner turned scholar, the author draws on decades of voyages across the world’s oceans to frame a fresh look at the planet’s climate rhythms. He sets out to reconcile conflicting theories about past warm and cold periods, arguing that the forces shaping Earth’s temperature are far simpler—and more relentless—than many have imagined. By weaving personal observation with the latest geological findings, he crafts a narrative that feels both adventurous and rigorously scientific.

The book surveys unmistakable traces of ancient glaciers from North America to the Himalayas, from Siberia to the southern seas of Chile, showing how ice once carved valleys, fjords, and scattered boulders across continents. With this global tapestry as evidence, the author warns that the mechanisms that once ushered in great ice ages are re‑activating, suggesting a looming cooling that could reshape humanity’s future. Listeners are invited to contemplate the delicate balance of nature and the looming challenges ahead.
