Carbon Dioxide Was Hidden in the Ocean During Last Ice Age

Carbon Dioxide Was Hidden in the Ocean During Last Ice Age

Reference- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120329142020.htm

Summary- Around 20,000 years ago the atmospheric CO2 concentration during the last Ice Age was distinctly lower than in the following warm period. Measurements from Antarctic ice cores showed this already two decades ago. The climate researchers found that this close connection between carbon dioxide and temperature has existed over the past 800,000 years. With low CO2 concentration during the Ice Age a higher CO2 values during warm period.

Critique- The CO2 concentration during the last Ice Age was lower than in the following warm period. With low CO2 concentration during the Ice Age a higher CO2 values during warm period.

Impact- This shows that the CO2 concentration was lower during the last Ice Age and then was lower in the following warm period.
