Rise in Gases Unmatched by a History in Ancient Ice - New York Times

More proof that we're screwed.

Scientists drilled shafts into the Antartic ice and pulled cores that go back 650,000 years. They measured levels os Carbon Dixoide, Methane, and Nitrus Oxide.

You know what they found? Absolutely nothing like today.

Conventrations of these gasses have risen dramatically far beyond that seen before humans even knew fire.

From the New York Times:
"Experts familiar with the findings who were not involved with the research said the samples provided a vital long-term view of variations in the atmosphere and Antarctic climate. They say the data will help test and improve computer models used to forecast how accumulating greenhouse emissions will affect the climate."
