The science debate behind climate change
... Part of the Global Warming Data relies on a graph showing the relationship between CO2 and temperature for the past 100,000 years. Where on earth did that data come from? Much of it came from ice core sampling. Ice at the poles holds a historical record of the Earth’s climate. Each year, a fresh lay ...
