The tilt of the earths axis also has a major effect
Not for climate change. It certainly causes winter and summer, but that is weather that happens every year. Every year the Sun does the same thing to Earth = constant.
Climate is that which defines the range of weather Earth can experience. But it is not weather or seasons.
Jurassic had little to no land near the poles, and hence little to no ice =
warmer, wetter, much higher surface air pressure, higher oceans, more and bigger/stronger canes
Amount of ice on Earth dictates climate given current orbit and Sun. Ice controls
temperature
humidity
atmospheric thickness, surface air pressure
size of canes that can form
ocean levels
and the amount of ice on Earth is about where land is relative to the poles.
90% on Antarctica
7% on Greenland
The obvious correlation is that land near the poles has almost all of Earth's ice, and land moves, not that hard to understand...
and perfectly explains why Greenland froze (moving WNW) while at the same time NA melted (moving WSW).
