Young earth creationists are justifiably fond of using the pot of boiling water in a cold room analogy to explain the causation of the Ice Age, that “the fountains of the deep” for Noah’s Flood heated the ocean to have caused the Ice Age which followed (by much more evaporation off the ocean for much more cloud cover), this to which Aristotle would have agreed had he acknowledged the global flood (known as the Flood of Deucalion by other Greeks), yet he did write in his classic Meteorologica 11.2 that “. . . the sun causes the moisture to rise; this is similar to what happens when water is heated by fire,” and later that “. . . the vapour that is cooled, because of lack of heat in the area where it lies, condenses and turns from air into water; and after the water has formed in this way it falls down again to the earth.”
