A new study indicates that variations in Antarctic sea-ice may
have
played a significant role in lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02)
during the last ice age. This study makes progress towards unraveling
the
mysteries of past climate changes a necessary step for predicting
future
climate.
The study by Britton Stephens, a University of Colorado researcher
at
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Monitoring
and Diagnostics Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., (formerly of Scripps),
and
Ralph Keeling of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University
