Habitability for the Redemption of Billions NASA NASA

NASA/Hubble/STScI/AURA

Some Earth features needed for billions to be redeemed 1. end of a fine-tuned ice age cycle 2. exactly middle-aged Sun 3. extreme climate stability

Ice Age Cycle 10% ice F ° 4 2 20% ice 800 600 400 200 0 t thousands of years ago

Why we need an ice age cycle M elting glaciers water the soil-rich plains.
