A women meets a man at a funeral, she talks to him and ends up liking him alot. Why does she kill her sister?
Because it’s her sister’s husband? I don’t know. Is that a riddle or a joke?
She wants to see him again, so she kills her sister in hopes that he’ll be at the next funeral.
She seems a bit crazy, if you ask me.
Yeah, only slightly crazy.

Do you have a significant other?
No, not currently.
What is your favorite thing in the world?
Thing, like possession? Probably my laptop. It goes everywhere with me and it is basically my life. Or maybe my camera. It’s pretty important too.

Funwithfire, i personally cannot read all that because i'm not even studying that stuff or even understand most of the words and have to use google.
I believe the world was more of a slushball because of the sun? because i highly doubt it could of been completely frozen because mars is further then us and wasn’t created into an iceball. Also, i don’t think it could of been an iceball due to the amoeba and other fairly simple life forms surviving. Bacteria can’t handle weather like that.
So, slushball?
Haha, I’m surprised you even tried. Thanks though! It’s actually pretty feasible to start the snowball earth. The sun was younger then and emitted 6% less radiation. Mix that together with some complex greenhouse gases/rock/ocean interaction and you have conditions in which glaciation on massive scales can happen. Once the ice reaches within 30º of the equator, it would create a positive feedback loop. The high albedo of the snow/ice reflect more of the sun’s energy and thus, the earth gets cooler and the ice advances even further, causing higher albedo and more reflection. This continues until the ice covers the planet.
The life could survive by living near hydrothermal vents. That’s actually one possible location for the start of life.
Anyway, thanks for trying to read some of it. There is a lot of geologic evidence supporting snowball earth, but you can also interpret it differently and come up with other hypothesis, such as slushball earth or the zipper rift hypothesis. Anyway, I’m sure you probably don’t care. Thanks though,
I like educating myself in facts.But one thing, These “hydrothermal vents” couldn’t be ice, could it? Also, is 6 percent really that much of a difference?
Also i understand the whole “lake warming effect” thing. I think that alot of it could be ice but not all could possibly be that way. Well, i’m getting technical.
The oceans wouldn’t be frozen right through;no one’s proposing that. It is called snowball earth because it would look like a snowball from space. It would be glaciers floating on top of the ocean, much like they do today in places. As for the sun, 6% is pretty significant when you consider how much of an impact the sun has on our climate and how fragile the earth is.
Anyway, I’m off to bed. Thanks for your input. It was nice to have a discussion with someone about this. It was fun.

Fun fact
the world was once a huge fucking iceball and that huge area of land was called Rodinia. Later on it became pangea when it unfrosted.
With a few hundred million years in between those two super continents.
A snowball Earth versus a slushball Earth: Results from Neoproterozoic climate modeling sensitivity experiments
Anybody want to read that paper for me and tell me if I can use it in my paper? It’s only 11 pages of dry research.
I’m bored, gimmie the link.
Haha, it’s a pdf, so I can’t. Here’s the abstract for your reading pleasure though:
The Neoproterozoic was characterized by an extreme glaciation, but until now there has been no consensus as to whether it was a complete glaciation (snowball Earth) or a less severe glaciation (slushball Earth). We performed sensitivity experiments with an Earth model of intermediate complexity for this period of dramatic global cooling. Our simulations focus on the climate response on a cool versus a cold ocean, on a desert versus a glacier land surface, and on a lower versus a higher CO2 concentration. All Neoproterozoic model experiments represent much colder conditions than today and widespread glaciation. In case of an initial forcing representing a snowball Earth, the model maintains its complete glaciation, and temperatures are as low as -45 degrees C in equatorial latitudes. At the poles, the snowball experiments demonstrate annual average temperatures of < -70 degrees C. If the initial model forcing is more moderate (slushball Earth), polar temperatures are < -50 degrees C, but temperatures in low latitudes stay well above the freezing point of water, and therefore ice-free ocean areas remain. Based on our simulations, we are able to observe that global climate reacts less sensitively to reductions of atmospheric CO2 during times with increased glaciations. Our results suggest that the development of glaciers on land contributes significantly to intense ice coverage of the oceans. Because simulations initialized without complete ice cover do not reach the global glaciation condition, we conclude that our simulations support the rather moderate scenario of a slushball Earth than the extreme snowball Earth hypothesis. The experimental design and the model might, however, limit the interpretation of our results.
