Al Gore used this ice core data to claim that carbon dioxide made the temperature of the world rise, threatening life on earth, because there was a correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and the world’s average temperature. Yet the data from the much-celebrated Vostok ice cores paints a very different picture: Up goes the temperature, followed by a rise in carbon dioxide.
You vilify Gore for presenting data that proves global warming is real......but Gore did not generate that data, he is not a scientist but he is a very smart guy who understands the science. He is also quite knowledgeable about computer architecture and a gave a presentation to comp sci guys that was published in a now defunct periodical.... I know it's hard for many, but try to keep climate change a science topic and not a political one.........

re: CO2....another little detail about carbon dioxide is the fact that it is has lower thermal conductivity (is a better insulator) than O2 or N2, ie air.....hence as CO2 concentration increases, the rate of radiative cooling can be expected to be lowered.... This could be proven experimentally by building a box and heating the air inside and measuring its temperature.....I'll bet if you added increasing amounts of CO2 the temp in the box would increase....
