Past climate of northern Antarctic Peninsula informs global warming debate

Carbon-Based (Free subscription) | yesterday

Science Daily : The seriousness of current global warming is underlined by a reconstruction of climate at Maxwell Bay in the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula over approximately the last 14,000 years, which appears to show that the current warming and widespread loss of glacial ice are unprecedented. "At no time during the last 14 thousand years was there a period of climate warming...

This is from a long, detailed review in the Boston Globe of Superfreakonomics : A similar problem arises in another instance when the authors call carbon dioxide’s role into question. At one point Dubner and Levitt write, “Nor does atmospheric carbon dioxide necessarily warm the earth: ice-cap evidence shows that over the past several hundred thousand years, carbon dioxide levels have...
