Analyzing a two million year old ice core

"Analyzing the oldest ice core ever retrieved in Antarctica, U.S. scientists have shown a correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperature as far back as 2 million years. The core, drilled in an area 130 miles from the U.S.’s McMurdo research station, also showed a significant shift in the frequency of ice ages over the past 2 million years." - Excerpt from Yale Environment 360
