4. A.T. Wilson, in “Origin of Ice Ages: an Ice Shelf Theory for Pleistocene Glaciation,” Nature, 201, January 11, 1964, first proposed an ice age theory based on the rapid slippage of a part of the huge Antarctic ice sheet into the oceans. See also the article by W. W. Kellogg, “Climatic Feedback Mechanisms Involving the Polar Regions,” Proceedings of Climate of the Arctic, University of Alaska Press, Fairbanks, 1975, for more details and references to the role of the poles in climate theory.
