Hi Alighieri; Re: "These guys are...the very scientists in the study you refer to in your original post."; What they're talking about is showing how their research is useful in estimating what will happen in the future, under the assumption that global warming continues due to CO2. Their research doesn't provide evidence in favor of (or against) the idea that CO2 causes global warming. Scientists aren't stupid. They know that their money comes from the public and they want to give the public reasons to keep giving them money. So they relate their subject to something of immediate interest to the public. In this case global warming. But no, the Greenland Ice core project is not a project that is intended to prove that global warming is caused by CO2. Here, go to their website. All they're doing is repeating the same thing: During 2007-2011, a team of ice core researchers will drill through the ice sheet in North-West Greenland to retrieve ice from the previous interglacial, the Eemian, which ended about 115,000 years ago. Ice core samples from the Eemian will contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of climate under conditions similar to those of a future warming climate. Greenland temperatures were about 3-5°C warmer higher than present during the Eemian, making the Eemian a useful analogue to the future climate, which due to global warming is projected to warm by 2-4°C per century. By understanding how the Eemian climate evolved, we can improve our ability to make projections for how our current climate will evolve in the future. neem.dk It's climate research, but its purported use is to analyze the future, not determine what is causing the present. Even though the article shows that Greenland's ice cap is stable, the alarmists count it as a paper that supports the consensus, LOL. Basically these guys are morons. -- Carl
