In other words the paradox is that the more heat we receive from the sun, the more likely an Ice Age becomes.<\/p>\n<p>If the heat of the sun increases the winds on the earth also increase. That means more cloud, and more cloud means more snow on the mountain, tops.<br \/>\n\u201cBut since solar radiation is decreasing we are not approaching an Ice Age, though the earth is growing colder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EARTH IS GETTING COLDER.
