Friday's Los Angeles Times features an article about a sample of  
Antarctic ice which strengthens the argument that recent global  
warming is partially the result of human activity, about which Penn  
State geophysicist is quoted, "This is saying, 'Yeah, we had it  
right.' We can pound on the table harder and say, 'This is real.' "

Ice drilled in Antarctica offers the fullest record of glacial cycles  
and greenhouse gas levels.

An ice core about two miles long — the oldest frozen sample  
ever drilled from the underbelly of Antarctica — shows that at  
no time in the last 650,000 years have levels of the greenhouse gases  
carbon dioxide and methane been as high as they are today.
