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

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.
