               .I'm including extreme rainfall here because that's what causes
                ice ages ... excess precipitation. If  you want to know how much
                snow would fall  if a rainstorm should change to snow, just add
                a zero.  (One inch of rain - add a zero - will turn to 10 inches of
                snow.) Plus, rainfall has increased so dramatically that I'm only
                including accumulations of two inches or more.

Wow!!!  My husband and I have read Not by fire but by Ice twice, and given it to
numerous people.  So we couldn’t wait to read Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary
Leaps. It’s great! I was especially interested in it, because I have a Bachelor of Science
degree with a major in Zoology, from Sydney University, Australia.
