The Importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by scientists working in eastem Antarctica. Dring down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long oyiinder of ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus dling into the ice was tantamount to driling back through te. ‘The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists in Grenoble, France, {fractured portions ofthe core and measured the composition of ancient sir released from bubbles inthe ic. Instruments were used to measure the rata of certain isotopes in the frozen water to gel an idea ofthe prevaling atmospheric temperature atthe fine when that particular bit of water became locked inthe glacier. “The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Almost everytime the chil ofan ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped. When the global temperature dropped S*F (5 "C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190 parts per milion or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm interglacial petiod, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per milion. Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon, ‘doxide in the almosphere fuctuated between 180 and 280 parts per milion, but never rose much higher until the Industrial Revolution beginning inthe eighteenth century and continuing today. ‘There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change goes back much futher than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 mnilion years ago. The period was named for'a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fracton ofthe coal deposits that are being brought tothe surface and burned today, 41, Which ofthe folowing does the passage mainly discuss?
