Antarctic ice cores hold the secrets of our past climate. A European project revealed a climate record for the last 800,000 years. It showed that the Earth experience 8 glacial cycles - each with a warm period and an ice age.

  • @mYOzZyKaT Yes! This!  Thank you. Milankovitch Cycles FTW!!

  • shhh... we are not to know about the giant natural climate changes which is in no way shape or form related to CO2. In fact the very ice cores that document these enormous natural climate changes also prove that historically CO2 have never ever dictated any climate change and in fact its the temperature that dictate the normal CO2 level in the atmosphere. Research have proven a 400-800 year gap between temp change and CO2 and even with rising CO2 the temp drops for hundreds of years.

  • Interesting thought. I think that they would have to drill for miles and miles in a straight line to get that perforated edge. Unless the last large sheet snapped off on one of their lines and they did not tell anyone.

  • You clearly know just enough about physics and geology to make you dangerous.

  • you people are the ones responsible for ice sheet break off..You run these core holes in straight lines....Its just like a perforated edge...Ice shifts..Then breaks at its weakest point.

  • is this video on any other websites?

    i need it for school

  • thats cool. how many of them are done and how far apart?
