GLOBAL WARMING AFFECTS MONROE There is evidence that our sun is a variable star. That is. the output of radiation varies over a long period of time. The eleven year solar cycle is most evident. However, longer periods on the order of tens of thousand of years appear to have a pronounced effect on our climate. 18,000 years in the past, all of Michigan was covered with a huge glacier. This was the last of many ice ages. Global warming has made Michigan habitable. Ann Arbor and The University of Michigan are located on a hilly alluvial ridge. Most of Monroe county is flat and level - perhaps once a lake bed. The Real Cause of Global Warming Global warming has a simple explanation. The ice from the last ice age is melting. If you consider a building in a hot climate cooled by large blocks of ice. As the supply of ice melts the room will warm up. In the same way. as the polar ice caps and ice on tall mountains melts the world's climate will become warmer.
