JoNova has a great post up at her site on the subject of Greenland’s ice.
Simple explanation. They did not know about the methane hydrates the industry made with their use if fresh water in the deep earth.
If one looks closely at the ice core temp/CO2 graph the CO2 lags and follows changes in temperature. (This is shown even more clearly on thin line graphs of multiple ice cores). In other words temperature is a driver of CO2 concentration.
I wonder why the vikings named it GREENland? ...and settled there, and it wasn't 416,000 years ago.
